Sandwiched between the two Mitten State teams is Maryland, which won seven of its final eight games and 11 of its last 13 to wrap its regular season. The Terrapins went 14-6 in Big Ten play and matched their program record for most wins in the conference after joining the league from the ACC in 2013.

In a stunning turn of events, Ohio State met their demise at the hands of No. 15 seed Iowa. The Hawkeyes were not expected to advance while the Buckeyes needed to keep going to improve their NCAA Tournament hopes. A 77-70 loss, OSU's seventh in 10 games, could knock them out of March Madness. It's no longer in their hands.
