Not burgers. Not books. Frakkin' en-see-double-A basketball.

Wake Forest guard L.D. Williams's vaunted defense couldn't stop Maryland's Greivis Vasquez from picking up 22 points in last night's big upset over Wake Forest -- a win that cleared the Terps for the conference championship and redeemed a close loss against the Demon Deacons earlier in the month.

You can pretty much set your calendar by the Maryland Terps men's soccer team's annual run deep into NCAA tournament. This year's no different: after dispatching George Mason in the second round and battling past a tough Cal team last week, the #2 seeded Terrapins meet up with the Creighton Blue Jays. The two teams have tangled before in the tourney, most recently in 2004 when current Glasgow Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu slotted home the winning penalty kick in a dramatic shootout win for Maryland. On Saturday, they meet up again for a trip to the Final Four. College Park's Ludwig Field — one of the nation's best college soccer atmospheres — should be rockin'. Kickoff at 1 p.m., Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for youth/seniors/students and they're available in advance on the UM athletics website.
