The Maryland Terrapins apparently are still very much alive in the Lance Stephenson sweepstakes.
Stephenson’s father recently said that his son had narrowed his choices down to Maryland and Arizona.
Many thought the Terps were out of the running, and Stephenson’s father admitted as much a few weeks ago.
It seems that things have quickly change of late, possibly because Stephenson is having trouble finding programs with available scholarships or interested in taking a chance on him and his character issues.

Despite a rocky regular season, the Maryland Terrapins were selected as an at-large team for the NCAA lacrosse tournament.
The Terps will have their hands full in the first round, traveling to South Bend to take on undefeated Notre Dame.
Maryland could spring the upset if they play up to their potential, as it could be argued that the Irish haven’t really played anyone this year.
The Terps were expected to be a top 5 team this year, but they have rarely resembled such a team.
