Dixon lifts Terps over Hoosiers for NCAA title.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
ATLANTA _ Juan Dixon fired true and accurate shots to the basket the entire night, but he spent the final eight-tenths of a second of last night's NCAA men's basketball championship game chucking the basketball toward the rafters of the Georgia Dome.
Dixon did not want to be denied in his final game at Maryland, determined to lead the Terrapins to their very first national championship. And he reached his goal, scoring 18 points to lift the Terps to a 64-52 victory over Indiana before a crowd of more than 53,000.
In the 2,002nd basketball game in Maryland's history, the Terrapins (32-4) reached the pinnacle of the college basketball world, making amends of last year's trip to the Final Four when they blew a 20-point lead against Duke.
They did it last night with Dixon's smooth jump-shooting and leadership, Lonnie Baxter's inside grit as depicted by 15 points and 14 rebounds, and the entire team's hustle at both ends of the court, particularly on defense where they limited Indiana to 34.5 percent shooting.
