T.M. Selection: Maryland.

Grand Canyon comes from a much weaker conference. People remember their performance in the tourney last year but this Lopes team just not on that level. This Grand Canyon team just does not have the defensive capability to slow down Maryland get enough stops here. The Terrapins, from the much stronger conference, will pull away as this game goes on as they win by a double digit margin to advance.

T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Maryland
