“Look forward not backward” a very apropos statement from Quint K referring to the Terps. Just for the record:
Q has the Terps in the Final Four
Carcaterra to no one’s surprise goes against the Terps and picks Albany in the Final Four as well as Cuse—Shocker.
Anish has the Tar Heels coming out of the Terps bracket.
The Terps draw the winner of the play in game between Bryant and Monmouth, holder of a 12 game win streak. Should MD survivethe opener, they would play the winner of Carolina and Albany, two teams the Terps defeated this year. I said it after the Albany game, that I thought Albany was the best team the Terps faced all year. I might now throw Ohio State into that category. Carolina certainly has been playing better but I would love to see a rematch of the Championship game in the quarterfinals.
Much more as the week goes by and on Terp Talk Wednesday night.

For the second season in a row, the University of Maryland men’s lacrosse team has been selected as the number one overall seed for the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship.
The Terps, which received an automatic bid by winning the Big Ten Tournament, will play the winner of MAAC Champion Monmouth and NEC Champion Bryant on Sunday, May 14 at 2:30 p.m. at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium.
The Terrapins (12-3) are making their 40th NCAA Tournament appearance, and NCAA-best 15th straight. Maryland also secured its NCAA-best 15th consecutive 10-win season.
Maryland is 2-0 all-time against Bryant, including a 2014 NCAA Quarterfinal victory over the Bulldogs. The Terps have never met Monmouth.
This marks the seventh time Maryland has been the number one overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and first time in back-to-back seasons since 1974. Maryland was also the top seed in 1972, 1973 (NCAA Champions), 1974, 1976, 1987 and 2016.
The Terps have been to five NCAA semifinals in six seasons (2011-12, 2014-16) under head coach John Tillman, including four national title game appearances. Maryland was unseeded in 2011 and 2012, the 7-seed in 2014 and the 6-seed in 2015.
The winner of the Maryland’s first round game will meet either No. 8 seed Albany (America East Champion) or North Carolina (ACC Champion) in the quarterfinals the following weekend in Newark, Del.
Tickets for the Maryland’s first round game will be available by calling the Maryland ticket office at 1-800-462-TERP (8377) or through the ticket website.
