Lafayette

In 2010, Lafayette was the feel-good story in the Patriot League, finishing third in the conference with an 8-6 record and securing its first berth in the league tournament in the school's history. However, those vibes ended quickly the following season as the Leopards dropped 11 of 13 contests and finished in last place in the conference. Coach Terry Mangan said not many players and coaches bring up the 2010 season as they are intent on turning the program around. “We still have guys on that team, guys that got some playing time on some of those good teams, and we've got to remind guys that we just didn't roll out of bed one morning and look around and say, 'Hey, we're pretty good.

As a sophomore in 2011, Westminster senior pitcher-third baseman Trevor Houck was called up to varsity for the state playoffs. It turned out to be an extended stay as the Owls won the Class 4A state championship. Houck enjoyed the ride to an undefeated season, mostly watching the games from the bench for Westminster that year. Now the Owls' staff ace and top player, he would like to lead the team to another state title to close out his high school career. He's doing everything he can for Westminster, which is 6-3 through Tuesday.

COLLEGE PARK - Maryland coach Mark Turgeon didn't seem to mind that his Terps missed a dozen 3-point shots and nearly as many free throws Tuesday night at Comcast Center. He even gave credit to Lafayette for hanging in with there only long-range shooting and surprisingly tenacious zone defense that shut down sophomore center Alex Len until early in the second half. The Terps won, 83-74, and Turgeon, who gained a reputation in his first season at Maryland for rarely being satisfied, seemed content despite the fact that a pesky bunch of jump shooters - and shot-blockers - from the little Patriot League hung around against an ACC team despite playing without their top scorer.

Maryland basketball coach Mark Turgeon had to reschedule this team's practice Monday in preparation for Tuesday's game against Lafayette in order to attend the campus news conference to announce the school's move to the Big Ten from the Atlantic Coast Conference. The change of plans should not impact the Terps, considering that they have won their past two games in double-digits over Morehead State and Long Island-Brooklyn. Their Patriot League opponent Tuesday is coming off a 52-point loss at Kentucky.

Navy trails, 15-7, in this series and has dropped seven of the last eight meetings. The Midshipmen (2-1) suffered their first loss of the season, falling to No. 18 Fairfield, 10-9, last Tuesday in a contest in which they failed to protect three one-goal leads in the fourth quarter. Georgetown opened its first season under new head coach Kevin Warne, a former Maryland defensive coordinator, with an 11-10 overtime setback to Lafayette last Saturday. Here are a few factors that could play a role in the outcome at Multi-Sport Field in Washington, D.C., on Sunday.

Nick Faust caught the ball in the corner, his hands in a shooter's position and his eyes focused on the rim as if the Maryland guard was ready to launch one of his rainbow jumpers. When a Lafayette defender took a step toward Faust, the 6-6 sophomore from Baltimore burst past him decisively and elevated toward the basket. Faust was fouled as he went in for a dunk. The message from second-year Maryland coach Mark Turgeon had apparently reached Faust, whose hesitancy to use his athleticism rather than settle for what has long been an erratic outside shot has been a stumbling block toward his progress in becoming a college star.

Welcome back to Morning Shootaround, which will be a regular feature this season the day after Maryland basketball games.
