Maryland has been selected as the No. 5 seed in the South Region of the NCAA tournament, where it will take on No. 12 seed South Dakota State in the first round on Friday in Spokane, Wash.
Unlike last March, when Maryland celebrated its first berth to the NCAA tournament in five years with a large gathering at Coach Mark Turgeon’s house in Kensington, the team kept a low profile on Sunday after returning from the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis. The team rested throughout the day and held a private viewing of the selection show on the video board at Xfinity Center.
