COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Maryland and Washington have enjoyed considerable success this season playing contrasting brands of basketball on opposite ends of the country.
On Monday night, these vastly different teams will meet with one common goal: to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Second-seeded Maryland (31-3) spreads the ball around, delves deep from its bench and puts up enough shots to offset a cumbersome amount of turnovers.
The Huskies (23-10) rely heavily on high-scoring Kelsey Plum, rarely use reserves and are extremely careful with the basketball.
Both teams won in the first round Saturday using the same method that got them to the tournament.
