Maryland at a glance: Maryland (18-14) has been left out of the NCAAs three of the past four years. This year's team won at North Carolina 82-80 Jan. 19 but folded down the stretch, losing five of its last six games.

Key player: Sophomore guard Greivis Vasquez has scored in double figures 25 consecutive games and leads the Terps in scoring (17.3 ppg) and assists (6.9 apg).

Ticket info: Tickets, priced $5 for student general admission and $20 for reserved seats, can be purchased on the university's website, www.gophersports.com, by telephone (612-624-8080 or 1-800-U-GOPHER) or at the Mariucci Arena box office today starting at 9 a.m.

Up next: The Gophers are a No. 4 bracket seed, Maryland a No. 5. The winner will likely play at No. 1 Syracuse between March 20 and 24.
