After winning a thrilling game over UConn the Florida Gators now know their Sweet Sixteen opponent–the Maryland Terrapins. While Florida’s matchup with the Huskies had its fair share of drama it was nothing close to what happened in Maryland’s thrilling win over Colorado State to advance to see the Gators. Colorado State, a 12-seed who only made the Tournament after winning the Mountain West autobid, was leading for much of the game until Maryland was able to go up by 2 in the final minute. With just 6 seconds left Colorado State’s Jalen Lake hit a massive three-pointer to put the Rams up by a single point, leaving Maryland without any options.
