Senior Day Ain’t What It Used To Be

The University of Maryland honored all the men's basketball team’s departing seniors on Sunday before facing Illinois. Diggy Coit, Collin Metcalf, Elijah Saunders, and Solomon Washington walked onto the court with family and assorted loved ones, and got framed jerseys and drawings of themselves to commemorate the end of their run in College Park. Their Maryland careers are over, yet it seemed like they'd all just gotten here. Well, OK, they all did just get here. Every honoree in this year's senior crop was a first-year Terp. You gotta combine all their days in College Park together to amount to what only yesterday passed for a standard college stay. "Yeah, it was not the typical mood for a senior day," said Maryland booster Jack Cullen, who said he can "count on two hands" how many Terps home games he's missed since his days as an undergrad in the late 1970s.
