Johnson led all scorers with 27 points but his potential winner bounced off the side of the rim as the horn sounded, allowing the 22-12 Terrapins to move on. Maryland was led by Reese with 17 points and nine rebounds. The Terps advance to face the winner of top-seeded Alabama and No. 16 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Saturday.
