On a night when they were struggling on the road, during a stretch marked by poor shot selection, turnovers and tired legs, Maryland finally found someone besides Greivis Vasquez who could put the ball in the basket.

Jordan Williams, the highly-touted freshman, stepped up big-time in Maryland's 67-58 win over North Carolina State in Raleigh Wednesday night.

With Landon Milbourne (8 points) and Eric Hayes (zero points) again disappearing in a hostile arena -- more on that in a moment -- Williams was a giant presence in the paint for the Terps.

He scored a career-high 19 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. And he banged with the Wolfpack's big man Tracy Smith all night, limiting him to 10 points on 3-for-8 shooting.

"Jordan Williams is just getting started," coach Gary Williams said after the game. "He's going to be good."

From a coach who's often reluctant to talk up his freshman, lest they get big-headed, that's practically a rock-star endorsement.

Now a quick memo to the yahoo Wolfpack fans at RBC Center who took to chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A!" at Vasquez, the Venezuela native: that was a classy move, people.

Somewhere on campus, there must have been a "yokels-only" keg party before the game. Hope you guys had fun.
