The decision by Greivis Vasquez to withdraw from the NBA draft and return for his senior season makes Maryland a contender, not a pretender, in the ACC race.

Vasquez is one of four returning starters for the Terrapins, who were spotty at times but won enough to get to the NCAA Tournament, where they won a first-round game over California before losing to Memphis.

Vasquez is listed as a guard but really is more like all-everything for the Terps. He led them in scoring (17.9 points a game), rebounding (5.4), and assists (5.0). He also shot 32.7 percent from 3-point range and 86.7 from the free throw line.

When he was on his game, the Terps were capable of beating a team like North Carolina.
