Maryland's Milbourne Has Heart: Leaves It All On The Floor

The Terps Landon Milbourne is once again key for the Maryland Terps and will be the difference maker for the upcoming 2010 season. 

Landon is one of those players, who gets it.  He understands what it takes to be on the floor at the end of the game.  This wasn't always the case with him.  Early in his career he seemed to be in foul trouble, game after game.  During his Junior season he not only had his best season, he became a team leader.  His presents was often felt early in the game and at the end of the game.  If he is not scoring, he is rebounding, if he is not rebounding, he is playing defense.  One thing for sure is that he is running as hard as he can and he leaves it all out on the floor.  He gives 120% and then some.  He plays bigger then 6'7".  He is one of those players that NBA teams would to have on their team.  A player that will do what it takes to better the team and play defense.
