I received an email from someone at the Washington Post this morning linking Michael Wilbon's article on what may be a crazy March. In it, Wilbon mentions Maryland as a possible team that could make a run due to their experience...
And those might not be the No. 1 seeds or the marquee teams from the marquee conferences. It might be a team that's not even in the NCAA tournament yet, some team that has to play its way in between now and Selection Sunday. Maybe it'll be Northern Iowa, a team I'm seriously considering to pick as a dark horse to win a couple of games in the Big Dance.
Maybe it'll be Maryland (if the Terrapins haven't peaked too early), which has two seniors in the back court (Greivis Vasquez and Eric Hayes), which can be just the formula you're looking for. Don't forget, Landon Milbourne is a senior. Adrian Bowie is a junior. Cliff Tucker, the swingman who comes off the bench, is a junior.
If you're like me, that article made me excited for the ACC Tournament and NCAA Tournament. We're getting very close!
