MARYLAND – No. 5 Maryland Terps eliminated in South Region by top-seeded Kansas

A 79-63 loss at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks cuts Maryland’s Terps’ run to a NCAA championship. Kansas forward Perry Ellis, who matched a season high 27 points, led the Jayhawks to victory in a game that was back and fourth. Kansas ran away with it after picking up the tempo in the second half, giving them an eventual 16-point lead. “They just tell me to be more aggressive, and that’s what I try to do,” said Ellis. Kansas faces Villanova on Saturday in an elite 8 showdown, while Maryland will have to wait until next year to make a title run.
