It's game day. The Maryland men's basketball team faces Kansas Thursday night in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, giving the Terps a chance to advance to their first Elite Eight since they won a national championship in 2002. It could be the last collegiate game for Maryland's entire starting lineup – or, it couldn't be.
The Terps are underdogs, and with good reason. Kansas is the tournament's top overall seed. Despite a prediction around these parts this week, if you play the math straight, Maryland isn't likely to win. Ken Pomeroy projects Kansas to win 76-70, with a 73 percent chance of the Jayhawks advancing.
