On some level, the Maryland men's basketball team is lucky to be playing Hawaii in the NCAA Tournament's second round on Sunday. On Ken Pomeroy's index, the Rainbow Warriors are the 30th-rated team out of the 32 that have advanced this far, and Maryland is certainly better on paper.
But the Warriors have one of the tournament's great yet unheralded players in Stefan Jankovic, a 6'11 senior forward who has both a center and guard's skill set. And as Maryland prepares for Sunday's game (7:10 p.m. ET, TBS), Jankovic is surely occupying a lot of real estate in the minds of the Terps' coaches.
