The Terrapins needed to beat No. 2 Duke to give a healthy boost to their NCAA Tournament chances. The Terps did that with a thrilling 83-81 victory that carried numerous storylines within the game's 40 minutes. But Maryland needed this for its soul, too. This is a school, and primarily a program, that has long felt out of place in the ACC. Former coach Lefty Driesell often joked that if he won the ACC Tournament he'd drive around the state of North Carolina with the trophy attached to the hood of his car. Former coach Gary Williams, who led the program to the national championship in 2002, couldn't stand the fact that most of the conference tournaments were in Greensboro or Charlotte. Maryland coaches and fans have complained about being Guam compared to the rest of the league, and with the school's decision to leave the ACC for the Big Ten, the animosity is more shared from around the conference back at the school and they know it.

After Mitchell came down with 14 boards and 19 points in the Delaware State game he earned a spot in the starting lineup over James Padgett. No surprise with this move considering Mitchell’s great play. Jake Layman got the start in the Virginia Tech game over a banged up Nick Faust. The move paid off well as Jake came up with a season high 20 points (18 first half).  Jake’s success in the starting lineup will make a case for him to possibly be a starter in any given game. When I think of my ideal starting five from the 10 man Maryland rotation I have a hard time coming up with a single answer because the team has so much talent (never a bad thing). Below are a few starting lines ups I see being ideal for the next several games and for the down the road depending on match ups. Option 1 – 1st half of ACC schedule: Maryland plays a team with a stronger frontcourt than backcourt. 1 – Pe’Shon Howard 2 – Dez Wells 3 â Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:58:04 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/a_look_at_marylands_starting_lineup/12650503 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/a_look_at_marylands_starting_lineup/12650503 A look at Maryland's Starting Lineup http://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/a_look_at_marylands_starting_lineup/12650503 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Alex Len scored 16, James Padgett had 14, and Maryland never trailed in an 83-74 win over Lafayette on Tuesday night. Nick Faust had 13 points and eight rebounds, freshman Charles Mitchell scored 12 and Dez Wells added 11 for the Terrapins (3-1), who have won three in a row following a season-opening loss to defending national champion Kentucky. In this one, Maryland's inside game was enough to overcome the Leopards' deft outside shooting. The Terrapins finished with a 44-28 rebounding advantage and scored 50 points in the paint, but Lafayette stayed relatively close by going 15 for 32 from 3-point range. Seth Hinrichs led the Leopards (1-4) with 20 points and Joey Ptasinski had 14. Sophomore Dan Trist missed a third straight game with a sprained left ankle after scoring a career-high 30 in Lafayette's overtime win over LIU-Brooklyn. The Leopards fell to 2-19 against current members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The only two wins were over Virginia in 1972 and Miami in 1991.

Maryland also added two transfers who are eligible to play immediately in Dez Wells and Logan Aronhalt. Wells, who on Wednesday was cleared to play by the NCAA, is an athletic, physical and versatile guard. The sophomore averaged 9.8 points per game and 4.9 rebounds per game for Xavier last year. Aronhalt is a proven scorer that netted 1,100 points in his career at Albany.
