Since many of you spent Tuesday dealing with your first dose of winter, here's a reason to think about early spring (if not late winter).
The bracketologists have come out of hibernation and most of them believe in Maryland's turnaround.
Both ESPN's Joe Lunardi and CBS' Jerry Palm project the Terps as a No. 3 seed, opening the NCAA tournament in Pittsburgh.
Lunardi has Maryland in the East region, facing No. 14 Hofstra in the Round of 64. If Mark Turgeon's team advanced to the Elite 8, it would face – cue the dramatic March Madness music – Duke in Syracuse.
Palm has the Terps in the Midwest opening against Northeastern, with a possible rematch against Iowa State in the Round of 32 and the possibility of going back-to-back with No. 2 Louisville and No. 1 Kentucky in Cleveland to get to the Final Four.
It's certainly too early to project whether Maryland (14-1), off to its best start in 18 years, will continue to play this well.
But at least there's some long-awaited discussion that includes the Terps and the NCAA tournament in the same conversation. Given how fluid the top 10 seems to be below Kentucky, Duke and Louisville – with Wisconsin and Virginia on the cusp of being in that class – Maryland should stay a high seed if it keeps winning.
