Sunday night, Derik Queen propelled the University of Maryland into the Sweet 16 with his buzzer beater vs. Colorado State. That was fun. There was elation in the moment. Had Queen’s shot gone awry, it would have been pretty disappointing. Give Colorado State all the credit they deserve; they played hard, and largely controlled the game. It was a typical NCAA Tournament game, where you can see the favored team is getting tight, and the underdog is reveling in the moment.

The Orioles begin their 2025 season Thursday in Toronto. As the year begins, I think the O’s are the best team in the East, and probably the best team in the AL. I think they go 92-70, and steadily look increasingly more formidable as the year progresses. I’m not worried about Henderson starting the year on the IL. The O’s are just being cautious with their best player. I’m not worried about Bautista’s ‘health’, but I think his performance may be a bit up and down at-least the first few months.

If they were to advance, they’d play the winner of 5-seed Memphis vs.

Maryland entered Wednesday night’s matchup against #8 Michigan State as winners of four straight, and eight of their last nine contests. The Spartans represented their biggest test of the season, and a win would’ve been their best in at least two years. Unfortunately for them however, it was Tom Izzo’s squad who came away with the 58-55 victory on a halfcourt buzzer-beater from Tre Holloman.
