The 2009–10 Terrapins shared the regular-season conference title with Duke. Williams also earned his second ACC Coach of the Year award. The Terrapins were selected as a 4 seed in Midwest Regional of the NCAA Tournament. They beat Houston easily 89–77 in the first round. In the second round they faced a tough 5th seeded Michigan State coached by the great Tom Izzo and led on the court by Kalin Lucas and future NBA star Draymond Green. It was Lucas that hit a heartbreaking buzzer beater to sink the Terrapins 85–83. The 2009–2010 team was to be the last great Gary Williams team. The following season a group of promising freshman veteran holdovers from the 2009–2010 team failed to replicate the success of the prior season and the Terrapins struggled to a 19–14 mark, failing to make the post-season for the first time since 1993.
