Opinion: Maryland Will Not Get Into NCAA Tournament

The University of Maryland men's basketball has had a terrible year. They've managed to beat terrible teams, but completely disappear when they play decent teams. Imagine my surprise when I read stories about how the Terps are sitting "squarely in the bubble" or how they'll squeak their way into the tournament if they win out the rest of their season. They are situated very far on the wrong side of the bubble and can't squeak their way to home win against Virginia Tech (who are considered a bubble team).

Maryland's Predicted Final Destination

Wake up to reality, people. The Terps are not even average: they are bad. Plain bad. Look at how they performed in their biggest home game of the season versus Duke on Wednesday... they didn't even show up. It was a nationally televised game and Maryland's players didn't even make a decent effort towards earning a respectable result. Maryland is a one man team and one man teams don't make it into the NCAA tournament; one man teams make it into the NIT. And this Terp team won't even make a decent run in the NIT. Prepare for major embarrassment.

So, stop saying how the Terps will make it into the field of 68. They won't.
