Given the fact that the Maryland men's basketball team ended the regular season with four losses in six games, many questioned whether the Terps would reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
Given the way Mark Turgeon's team has played against some of its tougher opponents this season, the fifth-seeded Terps believe they have a decent chance to beat top-seeded Kansas in the semifinals of the South Regional.
Though Kansas (32-4) hasn't lost in nearly two months and is a seven-point favorite to beat Maryland (27-8) on Thursday at the KFC Yum Center — the biggest spread of any of the eight Sweet 16 games — the Terps don't look at themselves as underdogs.
