No. 3 Maryland men’s basketball guard Aaron Wiggins caught an inbounds pass from Anthony Cowan Jr. on the right wing with 5.8 seconds left in the first half and launched up a three-pointer. Just after his release, he sprinted towards the rim, almost sensing his shot would be off-line.
His instinct was right, as the ball clanged off the short side of the rim and deflected off the backboard. With just a couple seconds remaining, Wiggins flew after the loose ball through a pair of Notre Dame defenders and corralled it, slamming a ferocious putback to end the half with a knockout punch in the first game of Fight Week.
