Big Ten Tournament 2016: Maryland basketball did a lot right, but not enough to beat Michigan State

The Maryland men's basketball team fell to Michigan State in a Big Ten Tournament semifinal on Saturday. It was an ugly yet entertaining affair, and Maryland did a lot of things well, but not quite enough to win.

This is how Maryland did in the "four factors" of team efficiency: effective field goal percentage (eFG%), turnover percentage (TOV%), offensive rebounding percentage (ORB%) and free throw tries per field goal attempt (FTA/FGA).

Overall, it's a positive picture. Maryland hung with Michigan State and outplayed the Spartans in several facets of the game. But just like Maryland's win against Nebraska on Friday came down to tons of good shooting, this loss came down to not enough of it.
