Yesterday I was in College Park, Maryland, seeing the 0-6 in conference Maryland Terrapins face off against the 0-6 in conference Nittany Lions of Penn State. Two bad teams means two cheap tickets. Nice.

In retrospect it wasn’t two bad teams. It was one bad team and one very bad team, as the Terrapins showed something that had been lacking all season. Penn State? They looked like a team that had hadn’t won a conference game all season.

The Terps dominated from basically the opening tip and led by thirty points at halftime. For once when my son asked if we could leave early I was like… yeah. We could leave early, but we should see if super-senior Diggy Coit would set the school’s single-game scoring record. (He had opportunities but came up one short, finishing with 43.)

Final score Maryland 96, Penn State 73.

A walk in the College Park.

Maryland puts its one-game winning streak on the line Wednesday at Illinois.
