ESPN Predicts Maryland Terps Will Be At The Top
Why is ESPN Analyst Jay Bilas predicting the Terps will come out on top? Well, he says the Terps are as good as they've ever been and believes Maryland has the talent to win it all, let alone get back to the Final Four.
But, continues that "if Maryland doesn't have enough gas in the tank, mentally and physically, at the end of the season, it could see an early exit from the NCAA tournament."
It has been quite the turnaround for Coach Turgeon and the Terps, whose 28 wins and a No. 4 seed was full of good news, a lottery pick center Diamond Stone and graduate transfers in the offseason. Robert Carter and Rasheed Sulaimon joined returners Melo Trimble and Jake Layman, and then, Maryland has become the nation's most talented and most balanced roster.
"I like the No. 1 better than anything else, to be honest with you," Mark Turgeon told ESPN's Andy Katz in September. "It's really helped us. People look at us differently. And we've really embraced it."
