SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- No. 2 seed Maryland saw its 2020-21 season come to stunning end on Sunday night with a 64-61 loss to No. 6 seed Texas in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16. The Longhorns scored seven consecutive points to rally from a 59-57 deficit in the final 1:32 of regulation to secure the victory. Kyra Lambert's fast-break layup off a steal with 45 seconds left put the Longhorns ahead for good at 61-59. The Longhorns (21-9) will make their first Elite Eight since 2016.
The Terps finish the season at 26-3 after capturing the Big Ten Championship and Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2021.
