As many of you know, I covered the Terps from 1985-1997, and have been witness to many of Gary Williams' biggest wins, including that little game against Indiana in Atlanta in 2002.

What I saw in Chapel Hill on Saturday was not only the biggest upset of any Williams-coached team at Maryland, but among the top five upsets in any sporting event I've covered in 22 years at The Sun.

It might rank up there -- in terms of David-and-Goliath scenarios -- with Georgetown-Villanova in the 1985 NCAA championship game or Larry Mize chipping in from 130 feet to beat Greg Norman at the 1987 Masters.

Here's my list of the other four biggest upsets for the Terps under Williams:

Jan. 26 1991: Already under NCAA probation for sins committed under former coach Bob Wade, Maryland beats a North Carolina State team led by Chris Corchiani, Rodney Monroe and Tom Gugliotta, 104-100, at Cole Field House. This was a Maryland team that was without leading scorer Walt Williams, who was out with a broken leg. Vince Broadnax, a former walk-on, torched the Wolfpack, leading Williams to comment, "Vince couldn't score 30 if he was playing in a pickup game in the auxiliary gym."

March 19, 1994: After defeating Saint Louis University in the opening round of the NCAA Midwest Regional, the Terps beat a UMass team they had lost to earlier in the season by 14 points at the Baltimore Arena. I had written a story early in the season stating that I'd eat my words if the Terps made the Sweet 16. As time ticked down in a 95-87 win over the eighth-ranked Minutemen that featured Marcus Camby and Donta Bright, Keith Booth's cousin, Exree Hipp looked over at press row in Wichita and told me to start eating. I crumpled up a piece of paper and complied.

March 24, 2001: A little back story on this one. When my son Russell was about nine, he asked me if I could take him to the Final Four if Maryland ever got there. I readily agreed, never thinking I would have to follow through knowing the program (and Williams) had never reached college basketball's promised land. I was in Philadelphia covering Duke in the East Regional and was just getting to the arena when the 11th-ranked Terps were putting the finishing touches on an 87-73 win over second-ranked Stanford in Anaheim, Calif. Russell and I went to Minneapolis, which is where his hatred of Duke was born.

January 26, 2005: For Maryland fans, winning at Cameron Indoor Stadium is better than winning at the Dean Dome. It has something to do with shutting up the students and making the K in Coach K stand for Kry (as you can tell, I didn't go to Duke...or Maryland). The 75-66 win there over the No. 2 Blue Devils wasn't a fluke; three weeks later, the Terps, still unranked, beat No. 7 Duke, 99-92 in overtime, in College Park. Of course, the NCAA selection committee didn't think the two wins were that big a deal when they snubbed the Terps from tournament selection.

Editor's note: Tom Gugliotta and Donta Bright's names were misstated when this post was first published. Information about the Terps' win over Saint Louis in 1994 was also incorrect.
