    Anyone know where I can send Mr. Vasquez of Maryland a Thank You note?

    I might not be worried anymore. Can you say Joey Dorsey's Goliath quote?

    “They (Memphis) pretty good, they have pretty good athletes,” said Vasquez, Maryland’s emotional fireball, “but their conference (Conference USA) is pretty much questionable. They didn’t have tough games the last 16 games . . . they’ve got to know it’s going to be a fight.”

    When Vasquez was asked again in today’s press conference at Sprint Center comparing the Atlantic Coast Conference and Conference USA, he tried hard to temper his words about Memphis (32-3) and C-USA.

    But . . .

    “I don’t want to disrespect their conference, I didn’t mean it like that,” said Vasquez, who scored 27 points in Maryland’s 84-71 first-round victory over California on Thursday. “I mean, we have tough games night in and night out.

    “Every game we play in the ACC is tough. Every team can beat every team. I think our conference and the Big East are the toughest conferences. Their (Memphis) conference, you can say it’s tough, but it’s not as tough as our conference. They need to play against some good competition, and we’re pretty good. So we’ll see what happens tomorrow.”

    Later in the locker room before a huddle of reporters, Vasquez added, “If they (Memphis) played in the ACC, they’d have a losing record in the league. They’d win all their games outside the league.

    “The ACC is tough. You can’t win games night in and night out because you have good athletes.”

    Heh, Mr. Vasquez has made this a must-watch game for me now. He better watch himself when taking the ball to the hoop against Memphis. I wouldn't be surprised to see him on a receiving end of a hard foul or two.

          I'd imagine Landon Milbourne, Dave Neal, Adrian Bowe, and Eric Hayes have collectively shat themselves now after hearing Vasquez put their heads on a bullseye.

                    I love Vasquez (aside from when he sucks [and no homo on either comment]).

                    If Vasquez stays and we get Born Ready, we're going to the chip. Granted, we won't have Church League, but BR and GV will be the greatest 1-2 punch since The Game and 50 Cent

                      Maryland and their fans are overrating their team. Just because you play in the ACC, it doesn't mean your team is good.

                      UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest are good. After that, you have a few average teams that made the tourney just like most other "BCS" conferences.

                      "Maryland would lose probably 4 games in the weak *** big 12."

                      I don't think the Big 12 is the best conference by any means but it is 6-0 thus far in the tournament.

                      It was funny watching Michigan take out ACC power Clemson. I really wanted to play the Tigers in the 2nd round.

                        Easy there on the "ACC Power" Clemson...They are and haven't been an ACC Power since they had Dale Davis & Elden Campbell.

                          Nobody in this thread has made any statement of Maryland's ability this year.

                          I don't think the Big 12 is the best conference by any means but it is 6-0 thus far in the tournament.
                          Nobody (aside from you) mentioned the Big XII in this topic.

                          Clemson finished 9-8 in the ACC. I'm not sure that makes them a "power" in the conference.

                            LOL, losing record in the ACC. That's rich.

                              Maryland finished 7-9. What does that make them?

                              A Maryland fan was saying that Maryland would lose at most 4 games in the Big 12. If that's the case, the sky is the limit for Clemson. That's why I jokingly called them an "ACC power".

                              7-9 isn't impressive. I don't care what conference you play in.

                              The ACC has probably been the best basketball conference over the past decade but I don't think it is as strong this year. Not that it matters. UNC could still cut down the nets.
