After Maryland’s 75-66 win against Illinois Feb. 7, there was no longer any doubt when it came to the question, “Is this Terps team legit?”
Yes. Yes very much so. In fact, Maryland had probably proven their legitimacy during the previous weeks, and even if the Terps had lost that game — a tough game on the road against a very good team — they probably should have been viewed as having had so much legitimacy that MC Hammer wouldn’t have allowed them to surrender.
But that wasn’t REALLY the question we were asking, was it? And it’s why even the best win in years for the Maryland program isn’t quite enough to truly answer the question either.
