The postseason has arrived for Maryland men’s basketball, and even though the Terps are on a two-game slide, not many thought they would make it to this point.
Picked to finish 11th in the Big Ten, Maryland surprised many with key victories on the road against ranked opponents and then found its groove defensively to climb up the Big Ten standings and secure a trip to the Big Dance.
Maryland had a chance to finish tied for sixth in the conference and as a 7-seed in the tournament, but the loss to Penn State last time out cemented the Terps as the eighth seed and set up a rematch with Michigan State in the Big Ten tournament.
