From the return of rampant defensive miscues to the importance of the regular-season finale, here are three takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s 60-55 loss to Northwestern on Wednesday night.
Through Maryland’s five-game winning streak, it centered its efforts on being an active defense that has the speed and length to switch defenders on any ball screens. And through the first four minutes of Wednesday’s game, the Terps (15-11, 9-10 Big Ten) continued to look like that team as they scored the game’s first nine points and forced Northwestern to miss its first five shots and commit three turnovers.
