Ghosts of Maryland Basketball Past


So I flipped over to the NBA game while the VT game was at a commercial break, and guess who I saw? Joe Smith (Bulls, starting PF, 31 pts and 11 reb) and Steve Blake (Blazers, starting PG, 13 pts) on the same court. Honestly, I didn't even know Joe Smith was still in the league. It was actually like watching a college reunion game. With two of the youngest teams in the Association on the court, I actually saw (and still remember) all of these guys playing college ball. Granted, I left a few key guys off the list.

ACC: Smith, Blake, Jarrett Jack, Chris Duhon, Luol Deng
Big 12: Aldridge, Gordon, Hinrich
Pac 10: Frye, Roy
SEC: Tyrus Thomas, Noah

I remember when everyone was paralyzed with fear that Joe Smith was going to leave after his sophomore year. "Say it ain't so, Joe!" we all cried.

A decade later, we would be thrilled that he stuck it out for two years.
