The Maryland Terrapins were on the right side of the first March Madness buzzer-beater in two years when Derik Queen broke the hearts of Colorado State by scoring on the last play of the game to take down the Rams by a final score of 72-71.

The celebration will be short-lived as the Terps now have to take on arguably the best team in the tournament in the Sweet 16, the Florida Gators. Before that takes place, let's take a look at Maryland's history in the NCAA Tournament as well as their odds to win the 2025 National Championship.

Has Maryland Ever Won the NCAA Tournament?

Yes, the Maryland Terrapins won the 2002 National Championship. They defeated Indiana by a final score of 64-52 in the championship game.

Let's take a look at their best finishes in program history:

• National Champions: 2002
• Final Four: 2001, 2002
• Elite 8: 1973, 1975, 2001, 2002
• Sweet 16: 1958, 1973, 1975, 1980, 1984, 1985, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2016, 2025

This will be Maryland's 15th Sweet 16 appearance. If they win, it'll be their first Elite 8 appearance since they won the National Championship in 2002.
