After an exciting opening day of the NCAA tournament, we get set for day number two.
The first of six rounds gets underway this weekend, and among those games is a first-round matchup between Maryland and Norfolk State.
Slotted as a No. 4 seed, Maryland (23-7) enters the NCAA Tournament hoping to find their best basketball of the season. The Terrapins did conclude the regular season with a four-game win streak, but they lost their first game of the Big 10 Tournament to the No. 5 seed there — Michigan.
Opposite the Terrapins is No. 13 seed Norfolk State (30-4), who is heading into the NCAA Tournament with a full head of steam. The Spartans have won their last 19 games, sealing the MEAC regular season and tournament title for the third consecutive year along the way.
