The Maryland men's basketball team put on a magical performance at the happiest place on earth Sunday, clinching a dominant 84-63 win over Marquette to secure the 2019 Orlando Invitational crown. The victory bumped Maryland to its highest ranking in the AP poll since 2016 on Monday, as the Terps were tabbed as the No. 3 team in the nation. Check out what the college basketball world was saying after Maryland's 8-0 start.

If there's a better Glue Guy in college basketball than Maryland's Darryl Morsell, I'd like to see him. Did EVERYTHING today, including shut down Markus Howard. Terps roll in Orlando.

Maryland blows out Marquette. Terps are deep, but will still go as far as Anthony Cowan takes them. He's the key - and he was TREMENDOUS down in Orlando.

Maryland is playing as well as anyone right now and will be 8-0 if they hold on here. They'll crack the top 4 in tomorrow's new AP Poll. https://t.co/FixmPToYUF

What a trip to Fla as the Terps win the Orlando Invitational with a 21 pt win over Marquette . Anthony Cowan the MVP as it should have been. Great fan base behind us. The Irish Wed night at Xfinity. Be there!!!

My guess is it wasn't EVERYTHING @CoachTurgeon wanted, but in terms of team defense & sharing the ball (not to mention coaching), today's win for @TerrapinHoops against @MarquetteMBB was pretty much a clinic. @AnthonyCowanJr @410D_
