No. 5 Maryland vs. No. 1 Kansas
If the NCAA Tournament First Round belonged to the underdogs, then the NCAA Tournament Second Round belonged to the heavyweights, as just about every underdog coming into the tournament that had made big stories in their first game, were dispatched of.
Two teams that never had to worry about the onslaught of a tournament underdog were the Maryland Terrapins and the Kansas Jayhawks. In the NCAA Tournament Second Round, the Terrapins eliminated the Hawaii Warriors, while the Kansas Jayhawks cruised to victory in their first two games.
Now that it’s the Sweet 16, it means the level of competition is only going to be greater and this is each team’s biggest battle yet. The Jayhawks will have their hands full stopping Melo Trimble, while the Terrapins will have to do everything in their power to hold off Perry Ellis and Wayne Selden Jr.
The winner of this game will move onto the Elite 8 and will be just one step away from reaching the Final Four. For those that want to watch the game on Thursday night, it can be seen on TV on CBS and watched online via the NCAA March Madness Live app. Here’s how to watch online.
