Losses by Yale and Denver in their conference title games played into the Terps' favor. Now, the table is set for Maryland (12-3) to make a run at a second consecutive national championship.
The Terps finished the season atop the RPI rankings, despite losses to No. 2 Albany, No. 15 Ohio State and the fifth-ranked Blue Jays.
That impressive resume was enough to propel Maryland to the top of the NCAA Tournament bracket. The Terps play the winner of Canisius and Robert Morris at noon May 13 in College Park, Md.
