Maryland men’s basketball’s season is a wrap after it was unceremoniously excluded from the NIT field on Sunday.
So that means the Terps will end the season with a 19-13 record, going 8-10 in the Big Ten, 2-8 on the road and 1-2 in neutral site games. They also went 2-8 in games decided by five points or less. It absolutely wasn’t the resume of a NCAA Tournament team, but the NIT appeared to be a lock. In all honesty, it may not be the worst thing that could’ve happened.
Instead, Maryland was included among the “First Four Out” for the little dance, and the offseason begins a little early.
