No. 4-seed Maryland men’s basketball’s season ends with 87-71 loss to No. 1-seed Florida in Sweet 16

No. 4-seed Maryland men’s basketball trailed by just two points at the half against No. 1-seed Florida. It had 20 minutes to keep its season alive.

But its last effort on the Chase Center’s parquet didn’t embody a team that was desperate. Instead, it resembled a team out-of-sorts, and its energy failed to rise to the heat of the moment.

The Terps shot 39.3% from the field and 22.2% from deep in the second half, and were outrebounded by 11. Save for Derik Queen, who notched 17 second-half points and finished with a game-high 27, no Terp scored more than four points in the final 20 minutes.
