Projected seed: 3

Maryland's resume shows solid performance with key victories that bolster their credibility as a strong tournament contender. They've secured impressive wins against notable opponents like UCLA and Illinois, both of whom are recognized firmly in the rankings, showcasing their ability to compete with top-tier teams. Their narrow losses to Purdue and Michigan State indicate close competition, reflecting resilience and competitiveness. However, the defeat against Marquette must be noted as a missed opportunity for a signature win that could have elevated their profile further. In addition, maintaining momentum against mid to upper-tier teams in the Big Ten will be crucial for locking in a favorable seeding come tournament time.
