Greensboro, N.C. ? The net dangled from the rim by just one loop, with Gary Williams the only one left to take a snip.

As the crowd chanted “Gary! Gary! Gary!” the manic coach climbed the ladder and cut down the net on Maryland’s first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title in 20 years.

So many terrific Maryland teams never won the tournament, so leave it to the unlikeliest bunch of Terrapins finally to end the drought Sunday by beating No. 5 Duke, 95-87 in overtime — ending the top-seeded Blue Devils’ run at five straight championships.

“We want wins, we want to win this championship for Maryland,” said Williams, who ranked the victory alongside the Terps’ 2002 national championship. “This kind of makes up for a lot of things that happened to us in the ACC tournament.”
