Maryland men’s basketball was ranked No. 18 in this week’s Associated Press top-25 poll, the organization released Monday.
The Terps were the unofficial No. 27-ranked team in the country last week and have been on the verge of being ranked for most of the season. They finally broke through this week, though, earning a spot in the top-25 for the first time since Feb. 27, 2023. This was also Maryland’s highest ranking since Dec. 5, 2022.
Maryland’s recognition came in the midst of a four-game winning streak, in which the Terps took down then-No. 17 Illinois and Indiana on the road, as well as Nebraska at home.
