Terrapins' Tucker answers the call

Posted Feb 22, 2009
The Terps needed every one of Greivis Vasquez's 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to end the Tar Heels' 10-game winning streak yesterday. But their epic, NCAA resume-building 88-85 overtime victory wouldn't have been possible without Cliff Tucker's five 3-pointers or his career-high 22 points, either. The 6-foot-6 sophomore has 40 points in two games against UNC and 58 in Maryland's other 23 games since Thanksgiving. (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star)
