I think Maryland still has a good shot at a bid, but they do not deserve it at all.

The team this year never gelled, and was only able to get up for Duke (who they were essentially a perfect match with).

This was possibly the most talented team at Maryland since Gary Williams has been coach (three, I believe, McDonald's All-Americans and a bunch of Top 100 guys), but it was never all brought together. The inside guys weren't playing inside, and the team with a few exceptions wasn't a good defensive team.

The good thing is that Will Bowers seems to be emerging as a solid at least inside guy for next year, while John Gilchrist can put the team on his back (he was injured today for the second half). Chris McCray is a good shooter and a great defender. Nick Caner-Medley is inconsistant, but very tough to defend when he's on. James Gist looks like he'll be a major force in the conference as well.

I have hope for next year, especially against Duke , and believe this was simply a lost season that won't be repeated.
