This is the program-record seventh straight season Williams has taken the Terps to the NCAAs. I teams to earn bids to seven straight tourneys, including this year's tournament. The Terps had been projected as high as a No. 4 or No. 5 seed in recent weeks, but by virtue of their strong finish and run to the championship game of this weekend's ACC tournament, they received a No. 3 seed. The Terps were seeded higher than teams that faltered down the stretch, such as Syracuse, Indiana and Tennessee. Iowa State is the No. 2 seed in the Terps' bracket.
