The Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team is the University of Maryland's representative in NCAA Division I competition. A program with over a century of history, Maryland was a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference before moving to the Big Ten Conference in 2014. The team has competed in 102 seasons, achieving an overall record of over 1,600 wins.
The program is notable for its significant achievements, particularly under former coach Gary Williams. His tenure from 1989 to 2011 included the team's most successful period, culminating in the 2002 NCAA National Championship following back-to-back Final Four appearances. Historically, the Terrapins have made 31 NCAA tournament appearances and have won their conference tournament four times.
Recently, the team has been in the news for both a major recruiting success and an outstanding individual performance. In late November 2025, Maryland secured a commitment from a highly-rated five-star high school recruit, a significant addition for the program's future. Concurrently, the team earned an overtime victory against Mount St. Mary's, highlighted by a player scoring a career-high and program-record 41 points to force the extra period.
