The University of Maryland, Baltimore County is a small public university that hadn’t had much national athletic success in its history, but that all changed in 2018.
The Retrievers became the first number 16 seed to beat a number 1 seed in NCAA history when they shockingly beat Virginia. They lost to Kansas State in the next round, but their big win over Virginia was a massive story.
