The Maryland men’s basketball team was ranked No. 3 Thursday in the USA Today Sports coaches’ poll.
The Terps, who received five first-place votes, are behind North Carolina and Kentucky, which finished in a deadlock for the No. 1 spot.
Maryland received 723 points, finishing closer to the Wildcats and Tar Heels, who both had 749, than to fourth-place Duke (686). The Tar Heels received one more first-place vote (12) than Kentucky.
It marks the second-highest preseason ranking and overall ranking for a Maryland team. The Terps were ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press poll going into the 2001-2002 season. Maryland was ranked No. 3 by USA Today that year, which ended with the Terps winning the national championship.
The Terps, who open the season Nov. 13, will play the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Dec. 1 as part of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
Maryland was ranked No. 1 in an unofficial poll by ESPN over the summer.
