NCAA Tournament 2016: Kansas’ strong second half ends Maryland’s season

Maryland’s NCAA Tournament run came to a close on Thursday night.

Despite a strong first half, the Terrapins fell to No. 1 seed Kansas 79-63. The Jayhawks were led by senior forward Perry Ellis, who scored 27 points and grabbed five rebounds.

Maryland got 18 points (6-of-12) from guard Rasheed Sulaimon and 17 points (5-of-16) from guard Melo Trimble in the loss. As a team, the Terps continued to struggle from behind the three-point line as they shot a lowly 20 percent (5-of-25).

This really was a game that was a tale of two halves.
