After being swept at home by Indiana, the Terps are now on the bubble for the NCAA tournament. Taking the series against Ohio State would put them squarely back in the national conversation. But can they do that?
Being swept by a team that's on the downswing can really hurt. It did last year when the Terps went to Boston College and were thoroughly outplayed by a lowly Eagles team. While Indiana is much better than Boston College, the sweep last weekend took place in the Terrapins' back yard. Time to panic? Not quite yet. Last year the Terps rebounded from the debacle in Chestnut Hill to win virtually all of their remaining regular season games, and come within three innings of winning the ACC Tournament.
