Maryland Terrapins deals North Carolina its first loss of the Season with an 82-80 win last sunday (manila time) in Chapel Hill. Nobody expected that this average Maryland team would give North Carolina its first loss. UNC previously escaped Clemson and Georgia Tech with a close win but this they could not get the job done. This loss will most likely cost them their number ranking in the nation. Memphis and Kansas are the only unbeaten teams in division 1 this season.
"Well I haven't done a very good job with this basketball team the last couple of weeks" said UNC Coach Roy Williams, referring to how the Tar Heels could not get the stops they need in the crucial moment of the game. "We've been living on the edge, and it caught up with us today" Williams added.
Like the Clemson game North Carolina had the chance to steal the win after Maryland scored on a basket and capture the lead with 21 seconds left on a Bambale Osby' lay up. But that proved to be the game's winning basket as North Carolina failed to score on three attemps. Wayne Ellington North Carolina's hero on the Clemson game missed a three point attempt and a lay up while Tyler Hansbrough missed a last second three pointer.
James Gist led Maryland with 22 points while Tyler Hansbrough had 17 points and 14 rebounds for North Carolina
