Cameron Brink quiets her mind before rising up for a block. Occasionally, she lets the noise in. The crowd roaring, sneakers squeaking — it all blends together.

Georgetown’s Ed Cooley on limiting Maryland to 13/52 shooting overall, 4/21 from 3PT: “A will and a want … our physicality showed.” Buzz Williams, leading into Friday, emphasized a need for the Terps to control possessions — an area the Hoyas dominated.

A 16,594 Gold Rush crowd at the Xfinity Center tonight, per a team spokesperson. It watched Maryland give up a 11-0 run to open and never recover. The Terps fall, 70-60, to Georgetown.

It’s halftime, and Maryland has 20% as many lost shoes (1) as it does made field goals (5). But the Terps shot 18 free throws and limited to Georgetown to 40% shooting, so they only trail by 5. The Buzz Williams experience!

Maryland converted just one field goal through first 10 minutes — shooting 1/9 overall. Seconds later, back-to-back baskets from Saunders and Adams put the Terps within striking distance. 21-14, Georgetown, with 8:15 left in the first half.

Who is Chuck Douglas — one of Maryland’s most loyal fans? He’s been called a bot, a burner and even AI. But he’s as real as it gets — a Terps alum, ex-Wizards exec and one of Maryland’s loudest voices online. “Can I go overboard at times? Maybe.” https://t.co/3An7MJ3bTW

I sat down with DeShawn Harris-Smith ahead of his return to Xfinity Center on Friday. He opened up about his two years at Maryland, from not living up to expectations to battling confidence issues to why he felt the Kevin Willard situation was overblown. For @thedbk ⬇️
