Maryland Basketball: Did the Terps have a case for No. 1?

The Maryland basketball team moved to No. 2 in the polls on Monday.

However, did the Terps have a case for No. 1?

For the first time in program history, Villanova climbed up to No. 1 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. The Wildcats received 32 first-place votes while the Terps only ended up getting 13 votes for the top spot.

Both jumped up two sports as Villanova was previously third and Maryland was fourth. Both schools had 2-0 weeks, which placed them above North Carolina and Oklahoma.

This would’ve been the first time that Maryland claimed the top spot as well.
