NCAA Tournament 2016: Maryland was really lucky to beat South Dakota State

OK, then.

The Maryland men's basketball team played a really good 34 or 36 minutes against South Dakota State in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament, then played miserably in the final few moments and almost – but not quite– coughed up its season. The Terps are on to a second-round matchup with Hawaii, and we're left to assess what happened on Friday.
