The history of Maryland Basketball in 3 minutes
Terps greats, it starts with a coach H
Burton Shipley, Bosey Berger, two time All-American
When the 30's began, Southern Conference Champions
Ritchie Colliseum, then Bud Millikan
Headed up to Cole Field House, A. C. C.
In the 50's, first tourney WOO! and Gene Shue
Higher and then higher they went in the 70's
UCLA of east, madness at mid night
Lefty got them coming in a hurry like Ernie
Graham and Tommy Mc
Lenny Elmore, Albert King and Buck Williams blocks
We got John Lucas, Amen
Uh oh, Mo went Pro, Seventyfour, Change the tourney
Greatest game in history, decline the NIT
In the 80's, Lefty feuded with Dean
Branch needs his jersey in the rafters am I right?, Right!
Then tragedy, Bias OD'd, No more tourney
Death Penalty
It was the end of the Terps as we knew it
There were better times ahead but we didn't know it
And Chuck D was fouled and you know it
We are Terrapins
Transfers, sanctions, but Walt Williams was the man
Gary Williams returned, Simpkins Rhodes and Hipp turned
and Booth and Smith in uniform, and fist pumping, jacket sweating
Chip on shoulder motivate, Stevie Franchise elevate
Fear the Turtle, Final Four with TMo then down low
Lonny Baxter crush, crush, and Steve Blake pass to Juan for three
One seed, then beat Indy
The tournament, the tournament, the tournament champs
The kids have done it, Wilcox dunks and Oh He Steal
It
was the end of a dream for Terp Nation
Through
our will power and determination
We
were the champs of the entire nation
We
are Terrapins
From
Tragedy to Triumph was our glory
It
was our destiny, redemption story
No
one else believed we just fought for it
We
are Terrapins
Goodbye Cole hello Comcast, buzzer beater Nicholas

Stone)

us Diamond Stone)
