Junior guard Greivis Vasquez missed two three-pointers in the final seconds, sealing Maryland's second loss in three games.
"We just weren't being tough as a team in the last minute," said Vasquez, who finished with 15 points. "It was our game and when I shot the last shot, I thought it was going in. Tough game for us, man. It was hard cause we got the lead the whole game and we just didn't close it."
That was evident in Williams's postgame demeanor. His session with reporters lasted less than four minutes, and when it was over, he remained seated, head down.
Minutes earlier, Haith had spoken from the same spot. The top button on his white dress shirt was undone. Haith's tie and jacket had been discarded minutes into the second half, back when his team couldn't hit a shot and it appeared Maryland would coast to victory.
As he listened to McClinton answer questions, Haith also bowed his head, though more in a sense of relief than exasperation.
"We didn't play particularly well until the last two minutes of the game," Haith said.
Conversely, Maryland controlled the affair until that same time frame. Sophomore guard Adrian Bowie recorded a career-high 23 points. The Terrapins remained competitive on the boards, despite being undersized. In the end, though, it was all for naught.
"It's hard, you know, when they're double-teaming you and all of that," Vasquez said. "We just let them hit those threes. We just got to step up in crucial times, and it's got to be more than one guy. I can't do it by myself and Eric Hayes can't do it by himself and Adrian Bowie, he cannot do it by himself. We need guys to step up and that's the reality."
