The Maryland Terrapins men’s basketball Staff Signifies the University of Maryland in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I competition.

Maryland, a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), left the ACC in 2014 to join the Big Ten Conference.
Gary Williams, who coached the Terrapins from 1989 to 2011, led the program to its best victory, such as two consecutive Final Fours, which culminated in the 2002 NCAA National Championship. Under Williams, Maryland appeared in eleven straight NCAA Tournaments from 1994 to 2004. He retired in May 2011 and was replaced by former Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon.
The Terrapins played what many believe to be the greatest Atlantic Coast Conference game ever — and among the best college basketball games ever — that the championship of the 1974 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament, in which they dropped 103–100 in overtime to eventual national champion North Carolina State. The game was instrumental in forcing the growth of the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Championship, hence allowing for at-large bids and the addition of more than 1 team per conference. That Maryland team, with six future NBA draft picks, is regarded by many to be the greatest team not to have participated in the NCAA tournament.
