The University of Maryland announced that it will honor Greivis Vasquez in a ceremony at Comcast Center on February 20th when the Terps host N.C. State.
Vasquez, now playing in the NBA for the Memphis Grizzlies, is Maryland's second-leading scorer all-time with 2,171 career points. He's the only player in ACC history with 2,000 points, 700 assists and 600 rebounds in his career. Vasquez was named ACC player of the year for the 2009-10 season and won the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation's best point guard.
Vasquez will be the 16th Maryland player honored with a banner at Comcast Center. Maryland Coach Gary Williams also has been honored with a banner above the court.
