CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Greivis Vasquez and Terp fans don’t have the best relationship, per se. Vasquez has criticized the fans, and the fans have criticized Vasquez. In my opinion, both have deserved it, at times.
But last night, Vasquez, who sported quite the new hairdo, was certainly less-than-impressed with the Boston College fan turnout, which was officially 6,449, but probably less than that. It wasn’t very loud, and the students seemed more concerned with catching burritos that were tossed into the crowd during breaks than the game itself.
“I thought the BC fans, they disappeared today, so I don’t know what’s going on,” Vasquez said. “But that’s how it is, that’s fine. Hopefully our fans show up so we can have a great game on Saturday.”
Vasquez wasn’t finished asking for fan support when the Terps host N.C. State on Saturday. He made it a point to find me before he left the locker room and deliver a message, probably to the students.
“Make sure you tell our fans to come out on Saturday – write that down,” he said to me.
So there you go; Greivis wants you to come Saturday night.
