Tillman gives edge to ACC over Ivy League

Maryland coach John Tillman has spent time in the Ivy League as well as the Atlantic Coast Conference, but when it comes to rivalries, Tillman says the ACC is much more intense than the Ivy League.

 "I would say the ACC is definitely more intense because everything happens so much faster," Tillman said. "In the Ivy League, every player is recruited by the same schools. They know you and you know them. They scheme because they have really smart kids, and they take away a lot of your strengths. You're always trying to adjust and everyone is well prepared. Here, so many plays are spontaneous plays. When the ball is on the ground, you never know what is going to happen because the players and the game are so much faster."
