Iowa State's HC Bill Fennelly gave Brenda Frese (one of his former assistants) strong praise today
"[She's] going to be in the Basketball Hall of Fame. What she's done at Maryland is incredible...I'm so proud of her and what she's done."
The real breaking news today from Maryland men's basketball is that Kevin Willard's ice cream flavor is real thing! No I haven't tried it yet but I deserve a free scoop of it at some point this coming school year as I asked him the question
Grateful to have my parents

Interesting quote from Mike Locksley's weekly presser,
"This generation is not growing up on rivalries because of the realignment and it's just where we are today...but we'll try to do our part to make sure our players understand [the importance of the rivalry.]"
Decided to Google myself last night and discovered that

This hits home in so many ways since the accident happened down the street from my high school. I didn't know Enzo very well but it will be weird not to see him at the Left Bench shows in the fall. Enzo always had a smile and will be missed greatly.
The Left Bench, along with the entire
@merrillcollege
community, mourns the tragic loss of our beloved reporter, Enzo Alvarenga.
Enzo was a bright and cherished part of our organization, and he will be deeply missed.
A little late but last week I covered my final game at Xfinity Center! Thanks for becoming my 2nd home for the past 2.5 years and showing me the joys of college basketball all year round not just in March!

Allie Kubek just drained her 7th 3 of the night and keeps the Terps in striking distance. Maryland's foul trouble might hinder the Terps squeaking out of this game.
Maryland's lack of a center is truly hurting them
The Maryland-Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse is still on for 6 pm start. Lots on the line tonight. A Maryland win would give the Terps the No. 1 seed in the Big 10 Tournament. I’ll have the game story for
