While Layman had horrendous games, his pt avg was consistent with his career while taking fewer shots. In essence he was more efficient and set highs in both FG% and 3%. People had high expectations of him. Same goes for Sulaimon. He met or exceeded all realistic expectations.
Maryland's problem is simple. They have no real 6th man who can handle the ball, play defense, and hit a shot once in a while. That would have been Wiley. There isn't much point in blaming the 5 starters, who all had pretty good years.
