Maryland 88, North Carolina 85 (WARNING: Auto-playing video):
Greivis Vasquez did something no Maryland player had done since 1987, and the Terrapins pulled off an upset that was almost as remarkable.
Vasquez had a career-high 35 points and 11 rebounds and 10 assists -- Maryland's first triple-double in 22 years -- and the Terrapins rallied from a 16-point deficit to shock No. 3 North Carolina 88-85 in overtime Saturday, ending the Tar Heels' 10-game winning streak.

The first half of Maryland's 69-61 win over Illinois was as ugly a half of basketball as you'd ever want to see. It actually resembled our lunchtime pick-up games in some ways-- lots of really clever passes being throw to guys who weren't ready, weren't able to catch the ball, or just weren't on…
What a great fucking game! It's a shame you didn't get to see it. TX-OK was also amazing!
Looks like Pitt is gonna back at #1 after this week.
