HOF Gary Williams on the toughest loss of his career:
"In 2010 we were playing Michigan State. They had Draymond Greene who plays for Golden State now. We were 15 down in the second half and we had a player named Greivis Vasquez who was an All-American and one of the great players to ever play at Maryland. We had to win our last seven games that year in conference to tie Duke for the regular season ACC championship in 2010. And we got into the NCAA Tournament and we got a tough draw. We had to play Michigan State in our second game and we came back somehow against a very good defensive team. Tom Izzo's teams at Michigan State are always tough. They never back up when you play against them. To make up that 15 and to take the lead on a great shot by Vasquez, they go down, they mess up, they get trapped on the sideline. They throw a pass from the top of the circle, and they had a player there that couldn't make a shot from five feet. The kid ducks and lets the ball go to the next guy.
"The guy's a good shooter. [Korie] Lucious is his name, who left school two weeks later by the way. And he nailed the shot to beat us. The other tough thing about that game is, in the other bracket, which who we would've played in the elite eight after that, Northern Iowa upset Kansas. So we would've had Northern Iowa. If you win that game, and we would've been favored in that game, you would've played Tennessee to get the to Final Four. And Michigan State got to the Final Four and they deserved it. But I still think about that game, how that could happen at the end of the game. There's just some things that happen in sports when you just shake your head and hopefully you can move on."
