What's The Point?

Maryland basketball suffers a major blow with the loss of point guard Pe'Shon Howard for the remainder of the season.

Howard tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during practice yesterday.

Howard will undergo surgery next week and will be out of action for up to six months.

Howard missed the first nine games of the season with a broken foot.

Terrell Stoglin, the ACC's leading scorer, will handle point guard duties for the remainder of the season.

The Terps are in Durham for tomorrow's game at #10 Duke. The game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN with tipoff at 4pm.

Maryland (14-9, 4-5) has seven games left in the ACC regular season.
