PRESS RELEASE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Maryland men’s basketball team will make its 29th appearance in the NCAA Tournament this weekend as it earned a 10-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The Terrapins will face 7-seed UConn on Saturday in the East Region. Location, game time and television info will be released shortly. The NCAA Tournament bid marks Maryland’s fifth appearance in the last six applicable years. It would be the sixth appearance in seven years if last season’s tournament had not been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Terps have a 42-27 all-time record in the tournament, including 14 Sweet Sixteen appearances.

The Terrapins have won 13 of their last 14 opening-round games dating back to 1997, including their most recent appearance in 2019 when they defeated #11 Belmont.

Maryland and UConn have played seven previous times with the Huskies holding a 4-3 lead in the series. The teams played in the 2002 NCAA East Regional as Maryland beat UConn on the way to winning the 2002 NCAA Championship. They also played an NCAA Tournament game in 1995, when the Terps lost 99-89, in Oakland, Calif. The last meeting between the teams came on Dec. 8, 2016 when the Terps beat UConn, 78-66, in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. 

The winner of the Maryland/UConn game will face the winner of the #2 Alabama/#15 Iona game.

Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event

They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.

These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field

Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
