Maryland men’s basketball continues NCAA Tournament run with a chip on its shoulder

After the final buzzer sounded, the No. 10-seed Maryland men’s basketball team erupted into cheers as it ran off the court after upsetting No. 7-seed Connecticut. As the players raced into the locker room, head coach Mark Turgeon was in the tunnel there to high-five every player on his roster cheering right along with them.

The Terps entered Saturday's defensive battle against UConn as the underdogs. On top of being the lower-seeded team, 25 out of 26 basketball experts selected the Huskies to emerge victorious. Former Duke center Jay Bilas was the sole expert analyst out of that group to believe in the Terps.
