No. 10 seed Maryland men’s basketball bumped from NCAA Tournament by No. 2 seed Alabama

After junior guard Eric Ayala missed a layup with a little under 13 minutes left against No. 2 seed Alabama, he turned around to hustle up the floor.

As he lagged behind the rest of his team around midcourt, Ayala could only watch as Alabama’s John Petty Jr. accepted a pass in the corner and put up a three. The Terp started walking back on defense before the shot even reached the rim.

No. 10 seed Maryland men’s basketball fought on both ends of the floor, but fell to Alabama, 96-77, with the Crimson Tide hitting just about anything they wanted from three-point range in the second round NCAA Tournament matchup.
