■ne. Maryland ended Indiana’s magical
Ijlumament run with a 64-52 victory
r Arafat ■onday night.
IS ConfinedrB T ,lis was tlie Terrapins’ first appearance
a national championship game and the
■nior-laden lineup came through over the
■al 9:42, pulling away from the Hoosiers
|o become the fourth straight No. 1 seed
d eighth in the last 10 years to win it all.
Coach Gary Williams brought his alma
ater from the depths of probation 13 years
;o to the pinnacle of college basketball.
_ie man considered among the most intense
he attackefl the game was able to celebrate with his
Jam. which featured four players who had
t itled at least 100 games in their careers.
“We had to really grind it,” Williams
id. “It took us a good 25 minutes before
e really ran our offense.”
( Dixon scored at least 27 points in four of
e first five tournament games, including 33
the semifinal win over fellow top seed
ansas. He started the title game at that pace,
:oring 11 points in the opening 10 minutes,
edid not score again for 20 minutes.
When he hit a 3-pointer with 9:42 to
lay, it gave Maryland (32-4) the lead for
;ood at 45-44 and the Terrapins made sure
vena small lead was safe this time.
“I was trying to be patient.,” he said. “1
ras trying to let the game come to me. I hit
big shot.”

match Kansas in 1988 for the most losses
by a champion started to fade.
Kyle Hornsby led Indiana with 14
points and Dane Fife added 11. Jeffries, the
Big Ten’s player of the year, finished with
eight points on 4-for-l 1 shooting. The
Hoosiers finished 20-for-58 from the field
(34.5 percent), the first time in the tourna
ment they shot below 50 percent.
The Texas A&M football
team resumed practice after the
Easter holiday on Monday with a
session in full pads. The Aggies
continue to prepare for the
Maroon & White spring game
this Saturday at Kyle Field.
Working on the Offense
The offense spent most of
the day working on various
drills with the quarterbacks
having good moments and bad
moments.
The offense started with a
one-on-one drill, with a quarter
back trying to throw to a receiver
covered by one defensive back.
Mark Farris and Dustin Long
participated in the drill and had a
shaky start. They combined to
miss their first four passes
before Farris hit John Roberson
with a strike over the middle,
beating Richard Whitaker.
The completion got Farris on
a roll as he completed his next
four passes.
Long was not as sharp — he
missed his first seven passes and
went l-for-9 in the drill.
Jason Carter then joined the
quarterbacks as they moved to a
7-on-7 drill.
Carter was the hottest during
the drill, completing 5-of-7
passes. Long had the best pass
of the drill, hitting Thomas
Carriger down the middle of the
field, over two defenders.
The first team defense joined
the offense for the next two drills
and the 11-on-l 1 drill got off to
a shaky start for the offense, as
Farris fumbled the first snap. It
was a sign of things to come in
the drill as he completed only 1-
of-6 passes.
Long heated up, completing
4-of-5 passes in the drill, includ
ing a long pass over the middle
to Roberson.
The last drill the Aggies
worked on was an 1 1-on-l 1 red
zone drill. The ball was placed
on the 18-yard line and the
offense had three plays to either
score or get a first down.
The Aggies got one touch
down on an 11 -yard pass from
Farris to Jamaar Taylor. They
also got a first down courtesy
of three-straight runs by Derek
Farmer.
Quote of the Day
“That was fluky.”
— Cornerback Sammy
Davis, after a pass he tipped and
nearly intercepted from Jason
Carter was caught by Terrance
Thomas.
