“We were careless with the ball,” WVU coach Bob Huggins said following the loss.
It was during this first 10 minutes the Mountaineers failed to capitalize on Maryland mistakes that ultimately allowed Maryland to lead 32-30 at halftime. West Virginia led 19-6 early while the Terps struggled to gain their footing. Maryland went on to lose to top seed Alabama 73-51 on Saturday. To be fair, Johnson had to race the clock down court to get the shot off, so it was a runner, but he got a good look, nonetheless. Johnson had an open look at the buzzer to win the game, but the shot was short. He almost single handedly kept WVU in the game with 27 points making all seven free throws, and 4-8 three point shooting and committed just one turnover. Kedrian Johnson had a career effort in his final game as a Mountaineer. After 40 minutes of game action the Mountaineers became the first team eliminated from the round of 64 following a 67-65 loss to Maryland.
