As desperation takes hold, a second-half uprising carries Terps past Iowa

The Maryland men’s basketball team staged a furious uprising in the second half Wednesday night that matched the Terrapins’ sense of desperation late in a season in which their NCAA tournament aspirations remain but a glimmer. The result was a 78-66 triumph over Iowa at Xfinity Center that ended a three-game slide and delivered a season sweep.

Four players scored in double figures for the Terrapins (14-11, 6-8 Big Ten), led by a game-high 21 points by Jahmir Young, the standout fifth-year point guard. Freshman guard DeShawn Harris-Smith scored a season-high 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting with six rebounds and three assists.
