Maryland Honors Greivis Vasquez, Keeps Tourney Hopes Alive

Filed under: Maryland, NC State

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Greivis Vasquez, last season's Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year who finished as the program's second all-time leading scorer, returned to Maryland Sunday night to see his jersey raised to the rafters along with the other Terp legends. It was an occasion to remember his stellar career, which ended with Maryland sharing the conference regular-season championship and narrowly losing in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Then Vasquez -- now a member of the Memphis Grizzlies who has been off during the NBA's All-Star break -- took his seat in Comcast Center and watched the freshman guards who are trying to replace him this season nearly throw away a chance for Maryland to return to the tourney this year.
