In terms of the big dance it is going to take a conference title to get the Terps in. With Maryland's record standing at 17-14 (6-10 ACC), it is going to take at least one more victory to secure the Terps spot in the NIT. Plus, if they can knock the top ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, then the road to the conference title game will get much easier. Maryland is capable of making a run; however, it might be unprobable. They made an unlikely run in 2004 when they ended the season at 20-12 (7-9 ACC) and were very much a bubble team before making their ACC Tournament run. If the team plays like they did today, then they may be able to channel their inner John Gilchrist, Nik Caner-Medley and Chris McCray.

One down three to go
Today the Maryland Terrapins extended their basketball season by at least one by defeating the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 82-60 in the first round of the ACC Tournament. With the Terps squarely on the bubble of the NIT, tomorrow's game against UNC is vital for the Terps to wrap up a spot in the NIT.
