The Maryland Terrapins' 2025 NCAA tournament run came to a disappointing end on Thursday night at the hands of the Florida Gators. After keeping it close in the first half—down just two at the break—things quickly got away from the "Crab Five" over the final 20 minutes, resulting in an 87-71 defeat.
Now? Instead of Maryland simply turning the page and moving onto next season, all eyes are on head coach Kevin Willard. After recent comments where he openly criticized the Terps' athletic department regarding NIL and revenue sharing, the 49-year-old has been connected to the open Villanova Wildcats head-coaching job in Philadelphia.
