Bambale "Boom" Osby's layup with 21 seconds left helped Maryland stun North Carolina 82-80 on Saturday, giving the Terps a shocking win that will likely end the Tar Heels' run atop the polls.
Osby dropped to the court with his hands covering his face. He knew his basket had given Maryland Terrapins(12-7, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), the lead late. He heard the horn as North Carolina's final desperation shot clanged off the rim. Yet he still couldn't believe it. "It didn't feel real, man," Osby said. "It was like, 'Did this really just happen?"' The same could be said of the top-ranked — and formerly unbeaten — Tar Heels.
This was the 10th time Maryland has beaten the #1 team in the country (second only to North Carolina's 13 wins), and the 7th time that Gary Williams has done it, which is the most by any active coach. Maryland is 4-2 in it's last six games against #1 teams in the country.
