LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Towels were perched on several players' heads. Redness and tears were visible in many of their eyes. Just about every player not talking to media members was slouched over listlessly in the locker room.
This was the scene after Maryland's 79-63 loss to Kansas on Thursday night, minutes after the Terps left the floor at the KFC Yum! Center, their season over.
After playing a strong first half - trailing Kansas 36-34 by the end of it - the Terps unraveled in multiple respects in the second half to be dropped out of the tournament.
