Greivis Vasquez is playing the best ball of his career -- there's no doubt about that.

Maryland's mercurial senior guard was just named ACC Player of the Week for the second time this year (and sixth of his career) after a 23-point, 7-rebound, 7-assist performance in the Terps 71-67 win over Florida State and 26 points and 11 assists in Sunday's 92-71 victory over North Carolina.

 The guy has never looked more confident setting up for a 3-pointer or driving the lane and kicking the ball out to a teammate for an open look. And the big reason for this? The Terps are running again and Vasquez is getting the ball in the open court, where he excels, as opposed to running a set offense, where he sometimes tries to force things.

 Vasquez and the Terps have also been helped in the transition game with the stellar play of freshman Jordan Williams, the 6-10, 260-pound freshman from Torrington, Conn.

Williams runs the floor really well for a big man -- better than the Terps imagined he could -- and has become a favorite target for Vasquez on the fast-break.

And when Vasquez gets a little out-of-control, as he's prone to do now and then, Williams either yanks the guy out of the game for a few minutes or has Vasquez's fellow seniors Eric Hayes and Landon Milbourne talk to him and calm him down.

All of it has combined to make Vasquez a dynamic player this season, one of the very best in the ACC.

The guy was always fun to watch. These past two games, he's been a joy.
