Was thinking last night about how Maryland has a chance to do something quite rare in College Park --- drop 30 points in three straight games.
It's been 72 contests since that happened --- way back in 2003 --- and it is the second-longest such drought in the ACC (behind, naturally, Duke). But the Terps scored 38 against James Madison and 31 against Middle Tennessee. The streak ends with 30-plus against Rutgers tomorrow.
But the Terps aren't the only conference team looking to hit reset on such a streak.
* Miami can end a 33-game run if it posts 30 points on Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. The Hurricanes reached that figure against both Florida State and Georgia Tech.
* N.C. State's gap of 71 games (dating back to the halcyon days of Philip Rivers) will end with a 30-plus-points outing against Pittsburgh. The Wolfpack blitzed Murray State and Gardner-Webb the last two weeks.
Here is the full conference rundown of the gap since each school's last run of three or more 30-point games, with year(s) and opponents included:
| School | Games | Season(s) | Opponents |
| Boston College | 12 | 2008 | UCF, URI, NCSU |
| Virginia Tech | 18 | 2007 | FSU, MIA, UVA, BC |
| Clemson | 19 | 2007 | Central Michigan, Md., Duke, WF |
| North Carolina | 26 | 2006-07 | Duke, JMU, ECU |
| Georgia Tech | 27 | 2006-07 | West Virginia, ND, Samford |
| Miami | 46 | 2005 | Duke, Temple, UNC |
| Virginia | 59 | 2003-04 | WVU, Temple, UNC, Akron, 'Cuse, Clemson |
| Wake Forest | 62 | 2004 | Clemson, ECU, NCA&T |
| Florida State | 63 | 2004 | UAB, Clemson, UNC |
| N.C. State | 71 | 2003 | Ohio State, Texas Tech, UNC |
| Maryland | 72 | 2003 | Citadel, E. Michigan, WVU |
| Duke | 153 | 1995 | UVa, NCSU, WF |
