Maryland has a basketball student ticket problem
Thursday night marks the final Maryland basketball home game not just for Jake Layman and Rasheed Sulaimon, but for all of the university's graduating seniors. The Terps are really good this year, so student tickets have been very much in-demand all season, and they're a typically hot item leading up to the home finale.
Xfinity Center holds a little less than 18,000 fans for basketball. The arena has 4,000 student seats, which are doled out to students through a lottery system. Tickets are "free" (more on this in a moment), and it's strictly against athletic department policy for students to sell tickets to one another. Yet, that hasn't stopped a lot of people.
