NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament 2017: Maryland’s 2nd round matchup is tougher than it should be

Maryland men’s lacrosse’s win over Bryant in the first round of the NCAA Tournament set the stage for a rematch between the Terps and No. 8 Albany, who took down the defending champion North Carolina on Saturday.

The Great Danes (15-2) and Terps will meet in Newark, Delaware, this Sunday, with the victor punching a ticket to the 2017 Final Four in Foxborough, Massachusetts. While this should make for an exciting contest, it’s not a matchup either team should have to face in just the second round of play.

The NCAA Tournament is a small field with just 17 slots, meaning two wins moves you into the Final Four.
