Given all of the massive changes that have taken place with the men's basketball program, the 2024-25 season feels like forever ago at this point. But before completely turning the page to 2025-26, it's worth recognizing one more incredible achievement by both the men's and women's basketball teams.

In the final AP Top 25 rankings, Maryland joined elite company as the men's and women's team finished within the top 15. In fact, Maryland is one of just three other schools who can claim that achievement - joining only Duke and Tennessee.
