Maryland has earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last 12 seasons, but the 2020 NCAA Tournament was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Terrapins have earned a top-four seed 21 times in their 29 NCAA Tournament appearances and 14 times in head coach Brenda Frese's 20 postseasons.

The Terps are 17-3 all-time in First Round Games and 16-0 in First Round games under Frese.
