  • The University of Maryland Terrapins men's basketball team has historically been one of the most successful college basketball programs in the country, and since hiring Coach Gary Williams before the 1989-1990 season the Terrapins have accomplished even greater success. Since the hiring of Williams, the Terrapins have gone to thirteen NCAA Tournaments, including eleven straight from 1994-2004, highlighted by the school's first Final Four appearance in 2001, and its first National Championship in 2002.

  • The Terrapins also played in what many consider to be the greatest Atlantic Coast Conference game in history — and one of the greatest college basketball games ever — the championship of the 1974 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament, won 103-100 in overtime by eventual national champion North Carolina State. The game was instrumental in forcing the expansion of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship to 48 teams, thus allowing at-large bids. That Maryland team, with six future NBA draft picks, is considered the greatest team to not participate in the NCAA tournament.

Cole Was A House Of Horrors For No. 1 Teams

  • Cole Field House bears distinction as having hosted more upsets of No. 1-ranked teams than any building in the country.
  • When the No. 3-ranked Terrapins dispatched top-rated Duke on Feb. 27, 2002, it was Cole Field House's seventh game in which a No. 1 ranked team has fallen.
  • Including NCAA Tournament games, Notre Dame's Joyce Athletics & Convocation Center has hosted six No. 1 upsets and Oklahoma's Lloyd Noble Center has been the site of five.
  • At Cole, Maryland has beaten the nation's top team in six of those seven games. Also at Cole, No. 3-ranked Texas Western topped No. 1 Kentucky during the 1966 Final Four.
