Welcome back to Morning Shootaround, which will be a regular feature this season the day after Maryland basketball games. While we can’t bring you into the Terps’ locker room after games – reporters haven’t been allowed in there...

The debut of Maryland center Alex Len tonight against Albany brings to mind other first games for former Terps. Coming into College Park, most were more celebrated than 7-footer from the Ukraine, but few were as important as Len could be to this season&...

Four months into an improbable academic and athletic odyssey, Allen Iverson has apparently built a sturdy foundation at Georgetown University. ``This is where I want to be in my life right now,'' Iverson said Monday during his first interview since his...

Sadly, I never found Steve Kerr in Phoenix to ask him if he can bench press 250 pounds. However, I did drive past a roadside hut in Houston that had two signs out front: "Beer." "Ammunition." Supply your own punch line while I supply some answers. With...

Drastic changes to the starting lineup didn't ignite the Bulls the way coach Scott Skiles had hoped Friday night against the Hornets--at least not initially. The move began paying off in the second quarter as Ben Gordon, joined by Othella Harrington,...

They found inspiration in the raised fist Malik Allen lifted gingerly as paramedics carted the Bulls center out on a stretcher. Chris Duhon displayed similar toughness by insisting on playing with an aching jaw and then stepping forward on a defensive...
