We'll see. This could be the 3rd sub-par year in a row by UMD standards. UMD and BC were both bad in the first Covid Year (2019). BC bounced back in a big way. UMD may bounce back a bit due to 5th year transfers but that is just a band aid. See UNC and BC continuing as perennial Final Four Teams. Just don't see that being the case for UMD. Historically they have just been better than all other teams - better and deeper due to the in state tuition benefit. Stony Brook has largely excelled due to coaching whereas UMD largely excelled based on talent. JMO.
Maryland has been to the Final Four 31 times since 1978 they will have an off year from time to time (as will all programs) but this nonsense that they will not be one of the top programs any longer is a bit ridicules.
