A SEASON TO REMEMBER

It made up for all the heartaches, all the embarrassment, all the bitter losses in one maddening March after another.

 

With a 62-54 victory over Indiana on April 1, 2002, the Maryland Terrapins were no longer defined by their past, but as champions.

 

There was a time when Maryland was known as the best college basketball team to never win a championship and Gary Williams was the best coach to never win a title, but no more.

 

It was a season that will be celebrated then, now and forever.
