The Maryland men’s basketball team landed in Louisville, Ky., Thursday in anticipation of their Sweet 16 matchup against top-seed Kansas. The Terps and Jayhawks are set to tip off at approximately 9:40 pm on TBS.
The Terps began their ambitious afternoon with an open practice in front of hundreds of fans, including a strong contingency of Maryland supporters, at the KFC Yum! Center.
Maryland then had a half hour media session, answering questions about their upcoming matchup against the Jayhawks. Head coach Mark Turgeon, senior Rasheed Sulaimon and sophomore Melo Trimble took to the dais to discuss the much anticipated game.
“We’re excited to be playing in the second weekend of the tournament,” Turgeon said. “It’s special to be in the Sweet 16 and we are ready to play tomorrow night.”
Maryland finished the afternoon with a spirited hour practice at the University of Louisville, where it made its final preparations for their first Sweet 16 appearance in 13 years.
