PRESS RELEASE

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – The Big Ten champion Maryland women’s basketball team (24-2) earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship in San Antonio, Texas.
 
The Terrapins, who are in the Hemisfair Region, will face 15th-seeded Mount St. Mary’s (17-6) Monday at 4 p.m. ET on one of two courts at the Alamodome. The Terps-Mountaineers matchup will be televised nationally on ESPN. The winner of Monday’s game will advance to face the winner of a matchup between No. 7-seeded Alabama (16-9) and No. 10-seeded North Carolina (13-10).
 
Maryland has earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 11 seasons, but the 2020 NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Terrapins have earned a top seed four times (1989, 2008, 2009, 2015) and a No. 2 seed eight times (1982, 1992, 1993, 2006, 2007, 2012, 2016, 2021).
 
Maryland has made 27 NCAA Tournament appearances and is 46-26 (.639) all-time in the NCAA Tournament. In their 15 appearances under head coach Brenda Frese, the Terrapins are 34-14 (.708).
 
Frese, this year’s ESPN National Coach of the Year, has led the Terrapins to eight Sweet Sixteens, six Elite Eights, three Final Fours and the 2006 NCAA Championship.
 
The Terps are 16-3 all-time in First Round Games and 15-0 in First Round games under Frese.
 
Maryland is 8-0 all-time vs. Mount St. Mary’s. This will be the two schools’ first meeting in the NCAA Tournament.

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.
