March Madness 2017: Maryland Lands No. 6 Seed, Full NCAA Tournament Bracket
Who's in? Who's out? Here's the final NCAA tournament bracket, with Maryland the No. 6 seed in the West region.

COLLEGE PARK, MD — March Madness is fully upon us, and it will only continue on Wednesday, when the NCAA men's basketball tournament will begin. Despite a lackluster showing at the Big 10 tournament, the Terrapins are the No. 6 seed in the West region.
The Terps will face No. 11 Xavier Thursday, March 16, at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. A game time has not yet been announced; it will be shown on CBS.
The annual tournament is considered one of the greatest sporting spectacles of the year, and this year should be no exception with no singularly dominant team.
