NCAA Tournament 2016 final score: Kansas beats Maryland, 79-63, ending Terps' season in Sweet 16

Maryland's March is over.

The Terps fell to Kansas, the NCAA Tournament's top overall seed, by a 79-63 score in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night. The Jayhawks will face Villanova in the Elite Eight, and Maryland will go home – left to cope with what might've been after challenging Kansas but falling short in the second half.

Maryland played a strong first half, but the Terps fell all the way apart against the country's best team as the game rolled toward its conclusion. What had looked like a tight contest turned into a cruise for Kansas, and Maryland was done.
