You can't spell Terrapins without N-I-T

Barring a late run through the ACC tournament, the Maryland Terrapins will once again find themselves in the NIT. A 16-10 record, 6-7 in conference just is not going to cut it. Maybe the Terps could find a way to sneak in by sweeping their three remaining conference games (at UNC, Miami, at Virginia) and winning two games in the tournament. It would give them a winning conference record and a 21-11 record overall; I can't see an ACC team with 20 wins being left out of the tournament, even in a down year for the conference.

If the Terps do wind up in the NIT, once again they will have earned their spot.
