CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Wine turned to water, Technicolor faded to black-and-white and the carriage assumed its former state as a mere pumpkin: The University of Maryland, Baltimore County, lost its second-round N.C.A.A. tournament game on Sunday to Kansas State, 50-43.
Thanks to U.M.B.C., No. 16 seeds’ records against No. 1 seeds in the men’s Division I men’s tournament is now 1-135. Against No. 9 seeds, their record is now 0-1.
Having become the first No. 16 seed ever to defeat a No. 1 when they beat top overall seed Virginia on Friday, the Retrievers, which had won the America East Conference title, succumbed to a squad that had been no slouch itself.
