[2] The 1994–95 Maryland Terrapins Men's Basketball Team represented the University of Maryland in the 1994–95 season. Led by head coach Gary Williams, the Terrapins had their one of their first majorly successful seasons under Williams. This season is regarded as one of the first stepping stones to establishing the Terps as the national powerhouse that they would eventually become. This season, they shared the ACC regular season title, and even though they improved on their previous seasons' record of 18–12, they matched their postseason result of the previous year making it to the NCAA's Sweet Sixteen.
