The Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team represents the University of Maryland
in National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division I competition. Maryland is a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference
.
Gary Williams
, who coached the Terrapins from 1989 to 2011, led the program to its greatest success, including 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 in what many consider to be the greatest Atlantic Coast Conference
game in history — and one of the greatest college basketball games ever — the championship of the 1974 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament
, won 103-100 in overtime by eventual national champion North Carolina State. The game was instrumental in forcing the expansion of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship
, thus allowing for at-large bids and the inclusion of more than one team per conference. That Maryland team, with six future NBA draft picks, is considered by many to be the greatest team not to participate in the NCAA tournament.
every year since the 1923-1924 season. Before the 1923 season, games were played sporadically during the 1904-1905, 1910–1911, 1913–1914, and the 1918-1919 seasons. In the 1970s, Lefty Driesell
was credited with starting Midnight Madness
. In 2002, Maryland won the 2002 NCAA basketball tournament.
or "The House Gary Built", in College Park since it opened in 2002. Prior to 2002 the Terps spent 47 seasons from 1955 to 2002 at Cole Field House
.
When college basketball was achieving its most explosive growth - from the late 1950s to the late 1970s – there was one college gymnasium on the East Coast that sat as many as 12,000 fans. Cole Field House epitomized the new big-time, main event status of college hoops, the sport of network TV and emerging legends. There was not a bad seat when it opened, and throughout its life there was not a better place to watch a game. It was a building where history was routinely made, and fans could feel the echo of tradition and experience the electricity of top-flight college basketball. Additional seats were installed throughout the years to bring the final capacity to 14,596 (in 1993).
Cole Field House held its first East Regional finals in 1962, when NYU defeated St. John's in the final, 94–85. The Final Four was first held here in 1966 between Duke, Kentucky, Texas Western (now UTEP), and Utah. Texas Western (which started all black players) upset Kentucky's all white team 72–65 in front of a crowd of 14,253. Future Maryland men's basketball coach Gary Williams, then a student, attended the game. Cole also hosted the Final Four in 1970.
Before 1955, Maryland basketball games took place in Ritchie Coliseum
, a small arena on campus (1932–55), and before that in a small gymnasium on campus simply called "The Gymnasium".
