The No. 4 seed Maryland Terrapins (25-8) and No. 13 seed Grand Canyon Antelopes (26-7) are set to clash on Friday in a first-round NCAA Tournament showdown.
Grand Canyon had been riding a six-game winning streak before Abilene Christian derailed their momentum in an overtime thriller to close out the regular season. Entering the WAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed, the Antelopes wasted no time dispatching UT Arlington and California Baptist en route to the championship game. There, they outlasted top-seeded Utah Valley to capture the conference crown and punch their ticket to March Madness.
Maryland, meanwhile, found its rhythm late in the season, winning eight of its last nine regular-season contests to lock in the No. 2 seed for the Big Ten Tournament. The lone blemish during that stretch was a narrow defeat to Michigan State. The Terrapins flexed their muscles in the conference quarterfinals with a dominant win over Illinois but fell just short against Michigan in the semifinals, losing a heartbreaker, 81-80.
