- NOW OR NEVER -- GREIVIS VASQUEZ Q&A
Inside the Shell editor Jeff Ermann goes in-depth with Maryland guard Greivis Vasquez, who discusses this year's team, his excitable nature and reaction to criticism, and the all-important question: Will he enter the NBA draft after this season?
 If the Terps are going to return to the NCAA Tournament, they'll likely do so on the strength of their guard play. With a solid rotation of experienced and talented guards and wing players, Maryland's backcourt is as good as deep as it's been in years. But will the Terps' lack of a proven inside game doom them? Braxton Dupree, Jerome Burney and Dino Gregory drew good reviews over the summer and will have to step up for Maryland to compete with the strong frontcourts in the ACC.
 Four years ago, Robert Ehsan graduated from UC-Davis and was headed for a business job in San Francisco. Then a graduate assistant position opened up at Maryland, and the former counselor at Gary Williams's summer camp got the job. Now at 26 years old, Ehsan is one of Maryland's three assistant coaches and considered one of the up-and-coming recruiters in the country. Click here to read the story.
- ALL HEELS THE CHIEF -- ACC MEN'S PREVIEW
 Tyler Hansbrough and North Carolina are the team to beat this year in the ACC, and possibly the country. Inside the Shell editor Jeff Ermann gives a predicated order and breaks down each team.
 Sure, the Maryland women got a lofty preseason ranking and return the nation's best point guard. But with three low-post stalwarts gone and six new players, can Brenda Frese's team surprise some people this year?
 Now that Brenda Frese's twins spend practices at home, players say their coach has developed a motherly side. That doesn't mean, though, that she's lost any intensity.
