One of the top perks of being a student at Maryland is having the freedom to saunter over to Xfinity Center 10 or 15 times a year and harass opposing schools and players facing the men’s basketball team without paying a dollar at the door.

Yelling at other 20-somethings because they are showing signs of early onset male pattern baldness or because the 3-pointer that was just launched didn’t touch the rim is a time-honored pastime that unites all types of Terps for a couple hours every few nights between November and March. There’s really nothing quite like it.

Now, with that being said, there are a few parts of the experience at Maryland home games that are overrated, tired or need to be replaced by something fresh. Below, you’ll find a discussion of what works during these late fall, winter and early spring days and nights inside the House That Greivis Built, and what needs to be subbed out before play continues.

What should stay

1) The epic montage of basketball scenes that plays in the second half. You know this one. This is the, “AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE CONTROL THE TEMPO OF THE GAME” hype video. It’s a beautiful piece of production and, if anything, should be used more. Like, during every TV timeout. Or maybe just have it run on a continuous loop from tip-off to the final whistle. There’s always room for more Coach Carter.

2) The “…and I have Maryland Pride” video. Ah, yes — this one gets the College Park faithful all sorts of riled up. Full of cameos from the likes of Juan Dixon, Dez Wells and Gary Williams, among many others, the famous ex-Maryland athletes and coaches are shown introducing themselves before triumphantly adding, “And I have Maryland Pride.” It’s powerful, and the visiting team definitely starts to question whether they can have a sliver of Maryland Pride, too. It makes you feel like — if you are unfortunate enough to not have Maryland Pride — your life will end up as some sort of complete failure.

3) The logo-smashing short featuring Testudo. A second-half staple that, like Kansas’ Perry Ellis, will never get old. Watching Testudo destroy/stomp out/beat down another college’s logo in creative ways is the perfect way to start a matchup’s last 20 minutes.

4) Screaming at a guy who air balled, even if he’s scored 12 points since or he actually last air balled in 2013. Air balls don’t have an expiration date. Reminding the kid about his mistake the millisecond the ball touches his hands should be as mandatory as showing your ticket to enter the student section.

5) Flash mobs. As long as they’re only employed once a season (so as to preserve their meaning and the anticipation behind them), flash mobs are an excellent way for Maryland supporters to distinguish themselves from other revered crowds. That, plus watching kids from all over the country Dab in unison, make them worth the planning and practicing.

What should go

1) The unfurling of the Maryland flag. Unpopular opinion alert: Dramatically rolling the flag down the Xfinity Center wall is a tradition that needs to change. It can be fun once or twice, at most. But after that, it becomes a chore. It’s hot under there, and it can get pretty smelly, too, and it always feels like the flag is left on top of the students beneath it a bit longer than it was the time before.

The simple solution here would be to break this out only for the most premier contests (is it really necessary to do this when the wall is half full and the Terps are up by 33 on Sam Houston State, for example?). That way, it feels less like an obligation and more like a special occasion.

2) “You can’t do that.” This was sort of funny in middle school.

3) Unorganized chaos during opposing free throws. This is an area where a little togetherness would go a long way. Instead of everyone going with their own, individual distraction technique like intense arm-waving or repetitive chair-pounding, performing a group skit or move would look cooler and perhaps be more effective.

Staging a birth, for instance?

That is brilliant. Do you think a scrub center from Minnesota would be able to sink two from the stripe if a few sophomore biology majors were behind the basket, say, reenacting the scene from Lion King where Simba is hoisted to the sky? Of course he wouldn’t. Just like Melo Trimble needs to work on his long-range shooting this offseason, Maryland students could stand to better this part of their game.
