Congrats to the University of Maryland Men’s Basketball team. After an up and down season, the Terps are right where they’re supposed to be: heading to the Sweet Sixteen to take on the (gulp) Kansas Jayhawks. (If you believe in good omens, the Terps beat the Jayhawks in 2002, en route to their first ever National Championship.)
But for now, let’s focus on yesterday’s victory over Hawaii’s Rainbow Warriors. All credit to Hawaii for putting up a good fight, but in the end, the better team won. Although Melo Trimble is the team’s best player and Diamond Stone perhaps its most fearsome, it’s Duke transfer Rasheed Sulaimon who has been often touted as the team’s emotional leader. Which sets up this fun scene. Sulaimon is entering the locker room after the big win, presumably after meeting with the press. The locker room is strangely subdued. Sulaimon tries to play it cool and then, well, watch what happens.
