Tipping Off: Maryland came back from a 19-point deficit to get within two of Georgia Tech, but ultimately fell in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament quarterfinals, 69-64.

More From Milbourne: Landon Milbourne tallied 15 points in the game, his most since also scoring 15 against North Carolina on Feb. 7.

However, when he missed the second of two free throws late in the first half, he snapped a streak of 35 consecutive free throws made that dated back to Maryland's game against NC State on Feb. 17. The Maryland record for consecutive free throws made is 40, achieved by Juan Dixon in 2001.

6th to 600: By recording two assists on the evening, Eric Hayes became the sixth player in Maryland history to record 600 assists in a career. Hayes also contributed 14 points on 6-of-12 shooting (2 of 5 from 3-point range).
