Maryland Faces Top-Seed Florida in Sweet 16 Showdown

The Terrapins look to upset the Gators in San Francisco as both teams aim for an Elite Eight berth.

Maryland, led by freshman star Derik Queen, advanced to the Sweet 16 with a dramatic buzzer-beater against Colorado State.
Florida enters the matchup as the favorite, boasting depth, rebounding strength, and standout guard Walter Clayton Jr., who averages 23 points per game in the tournament.
The game highlights contrasting team dynamics, with Maryland's strong starting lineup, the 'Crab Five,' facing Florida's deeper rotation and bench advantage.
This is Maryland's first Sweet 16 appearance since 2016, while Florida last reached this stage in 2017.
The winner will advance to the Elite Eight to face either Texas Tech or Arkansas on March 29.
