2016 NCAA Tournament: South Region Preview, Predictions

Maryland Terrapins (5) vs. SD State Jackrabbits (12)

The Jackrabbits should be considered as an upset pick; after all, they led the Summit League in nearly every category and boast a handful of scorers and matchup problems. Still, they’d have to defeat the turtle, who were one of the nation’s most accurate teams from the foul line and is solid on defense. One thing to note: the Terps are one of the most turnover-prone teams in the country, but could be potent if they get it going in the Big Dance.

OUR PICK: SDSU
RPI: Maryland
538: Maryland
