Maryland and Kansas face off in the Sweet 16 where the winner will advance to the Elite 8 and take on the winner of the Villanova vs. Miami game.
Kansas has not really been tested in the Big Dance and while Maryland did not have a great first round they won their 2nd round game by 13 points. The Terps have not faced a team higher than a 12 seed in their first 2 games.
In their last games Kansas beat UCONN 73-61 and Maryland beat Hawaii 73-60.
Maryland is the 5th seed in the South Region and Kansas is the top seed.
Maryland Terrapins
Kansas ended the season as the top-ranked team in the nation and on the season Maryland was 1-1 facing top 5 teams.
The Terrapins rank 103rd in the nation in scoring (76.1 ppg) and 49th in opponents’ points allowed (66.3 ppg).
In the Hawaii game the Terrapins only led by 1-point at halftime, but they dominated the 2nd half. For the game they were solid on both ends of the floor shooting a FG% of 45.8% and they held the Warriors to a FG% of only 32.9%.

Maryland is led by star G Melo Trimble, who was the high scorer in the Hawaii game going for 24 points. He and fellow G Rasheed Sulaimon combined for 38 points and their play will be key in this game.
They have to cut down on the turnovers and score, which will not be easy facing a Kansas team that has won both of their Big Dance games by double-digits.
The Terps’ defense was solid in the Hawaii game and they also forced 13 turnovers and they must play solid D facing Kansas, who rank 16th in the nation in points per game.
Maryland last faced Kansas in the 2002 season and that was in the Big Dance where the Terps pulled out the win.
Kansas Jayhawks
Kansas not only blew out Austin Peay in their first round game, but then beat a solid UCONN team that was on fire and won their Big East conference tournament.
The Jayhawks came out firing in the win over UCONN outscoring the Huskies by 20 points in the first half. Kansas has a solid all-around team and in the UCONN win the G/FW duo of Wayne Selden Jr., Perry Ellis combined for 43 points.
The Terps have to keep these two from shooting a high FG%, as they will get their points.
In the win over UCONN Kansas shot a solid FG% of 49% and they held the Huskies to a FG% of 33.9%.
Even though they won their last game the Jayhawks did commit 13 turnovers and they cannot do that facing Maryland.
