COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland and coach Brenda Frese were among the big winners on Selection Sunday, even if the Terrapins' good fortune remained a bit under the radar. As the No. 4 seed in their region, the Terps are hosting the first two rounds. A season ago, Maryland made the NCAA Tournament as a No. 10 seed and had to travel. It was only the third time in the last 13 tournaments that the Terps didn't began at home. Now they'll host 13th-seeded Norfolk State on Saturday. Fifth-seeded Alabama takes on 12th-seeded Green Bay in the other first-round game in College Park, Maryland.
