It stands to reason that every die-hard Maryland basketball fan of a certain age remembers where they were 10 years ago Friday. In the first game of their NCAA tournament title defense, the Terps trailed UNC-Wilmington 73-72 in a first-round game in Nashville. Senior guard Drew Nicholas took the inbounds pass, raced up the court and launched a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give Maryland a 75-73 win. Does it really feel like that unforgettable NCAA tournament moment happened 10 years ago?

Institute of Notre Dame girls basketball coach Jerry Hahn isn't feeling too emotional heading into Friday night's 47th annual rivalry game against Mercy - at least not yet. It could be a different story after the game. For the third and final time, Hahn will coach his daughter, Jen, in "The Game," the showdown that regularly draws at least 4,000 fans to the Towson Center. For the Hahns, "The Game" is as much family tradition as IND tradition. Wife and mother Karen Hahn also played in "The Game" for IND in 1986, coached by her future husband.

- In recent days, members of the Maryland men's basketball team have been absorbed with final exams, writing papers and - perhaps - allowing themselves to think ahead to holiday gifts and an upcoming break. Their coach, Mark Turgeon, has been contemplating all the distractions that make this such a difficult time of year to coach. It's not that Turgeon is some sort of holiday grinch. The coach is giving his players - who just completed eight days of finals - four days off around Christmas to recharge.
