Indiana’s five game winning streak came to an end today in College Park with a 66-55 loss to a Maryland team that has yet to lose a conference game at the Xfinity Center. After fine starts in each half, the wheels fell off pretty quickly for the Hoosiers.
Maryland threw a bunch of defensive looks at Indiana, often switching from zone to man between possessions and sending help from different spots on the floor. The Terrapins have a lot of long, athletic forwards who can make scoring in the paint difficult for anyone not named Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Like I said in the preview, Indiana would have needed strong, disciplined performances from its wings and bigs to win tonight.
