It’s hard to believe, I’m sure, but we’re less than five months away from tip-off.
And even though it’s only June, the Terrapin men’s basketball team now knows where and when it will be starting in early November.
The Terps will host Seattle in a Coaches vs. Cancer regional round Nov. 8 that will likely serve as their season opener. The team plays College of Charleston two days later, and will then proceed to the championship round in Madison Square Garden, where it could meet any of Pittsburgh, Texas and Illinois, among others.
Details of the team’s remaining schedule are still scant, but hey, it’s a start — in more ways than one.
