The No. 6 seed Virginia Cavaliers snuck by No. 3 Johns Hopkins in an 11-10 2OT nail-biter on Sunday, which means the ‘Hoos will face the No. 7 Maryland Terrapins on Saturday. The Terps are riding the high of a 14-11 victory over No. 2 Duke — they outscored the Blue Devils 7-2 in the fourth quarter.
This matchup has proven to be one of the most intoxicating postseason rivalries in the sport. This will mark the fourth time the two sides have faced each other in the NCAA tournament since 2019. Two of those three games were decided by one goal, including Virginia’s 2021 national championship.
