The Maryland men's basketball team plays its biggest game in a generation on Thursday night against Kansas.
When the Terps and Jayhawks tip in Louisville around 9:40 p.m. ET (CBS), a berth in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight will be on the line. It will be Maryland's first Sweet 16 game in 13 years, at precisely the point when Maryland has the most talented roster it is likely to have at any point in the foreseeable future. There is much to play for.
Kansas is stiff opposition. The Jayhawks are the tournament's top overall seed, and the South Region should be presumed theirs until somebody takes it from them.
