Maryland won its first national championship with a win over Indiana 64-52 behind the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player Juan Dixon.

"I feel like I'm dreaming right now because I'm part of a national championship team," said senior Juan Dixon, named the Final Four's most valuable player. "It's a great feeling man. I'm speechless."

Gary Williams also wins his first title at his former school. "I'm very happy," Williams said. "It was a thrill, there's no doubt about it. But I'm really tired. . . . I'm just so happy for the players, to see what they did. . . . Those guys just did it."
