It appears to be a done deal that Maryland is going to enter the Elite Eight. Michigan State just has not proven itself and the defeat of Florida was more due to that team's failure to play rather than Michigan State's ability. They will have a tough time in the Elite Eight (I cannot recall if they would play Texas or Oklahoma in the round of 8). As to Lexington Punk's assertion, it seems that they are a team of destiny so far. The next two games will show just what that destiny is.
