For some the greatest annual weekend in basketball if not sports is the opening two rounds of the NCAA tournament. Between Men's and Women's, you get 96 of the eventual 126 games played (even excluding the play in games). And there will be close games and buzzer beaters. The University of Maryland had both in a thrilling victory over the Colorado State Rams. Freshman Derik Queen capped off a team-leading 17-point performance with the shot of his life, with 3.6 seconds to play, taking the inbound step and some monster steps for the banker on the win. Game over. You just can't do it better than that. Queen was a constant force for the favored and 4 seeded Terps over the season averaging 16.2 points and 9 boards per game while shooting over 50% from the field. The future NBA big man hopes to carry his teams hopes to a deeper tournament run and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
