Projection: likely out
Maryland's resume currently shows promise, but a single close loss to a strong Marquette team hints at potential vulnerabilities, especially in high-pressure situations. Their recent victories against weaker opponents like Manhattan and Florida A&M highlight a powerful defense, but the lack of quality wins raises concerns about their ability to capitalize on tougher competition. Upcoming matchups against Ohio State and Purdue will be pivotal; both are top-tier teams that could either bolster Maryland's standing with a win or further demonstrate shortcomings with a loss. A couple of strong performances against quality opponents could change the narrative, but as it stands, they're on thin ice when it comes to securing a tournament spot.
