The ESPN/USA Today men’s basketball coaches’ poll came out today, and the Terps were on top of the “Others receiving votes” list.
The Terps earned 100 voter points, while No. 25 Syracuse picked up 111.
Several ACC teams did crack the top 25, though, namely No. 4 North Carolina, No. 8 Duke, No. 20 Georgia Tech and No. 24 Clemson.
As far as non-conference teams on Maryland’s schedule this year, there’s No. 6 Villanova and no one else guaranteed, though the Terps could meet up with Gonzaga or Vanderbilt, both receiving votes in the poll, in the Maui Invitational.
