Maryland Finally Remembers Wilmeth Sidat-Singh
Maryland will honor former Syracuse standout Wilmeth Sidat-Singh when the teams meet on Saturday, 76 years after they banned him from playing after discovering he was black instead of a West Indian Hindu.
Sidat-Singh, an airman who died during World War II, had his jersey retired by Syracuse in 2005. Now it's the Terps' turn.
