No. 2 seed Maryland women’s basketball (26-3) fell to No. 6-seed Texas, 64-61, in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament Sunday night.
The Terps had a four-point lead late in the fourth quarter, but the Longhorns stormed back with a 7-0 run to capture the win to advance to the Elite Eight.
The loss marks the conclusion of the Terps’ season and the first time that Maryland had suffered a defeat since Jan. 25. The Terps are now 10-4 all-time in Sweet 16 matchups and 6-3 under Maryland head coach Brenda Frese.
Here are my three biggest takeaways from the season-ending loss.
