After a disappointing loss to Illinois on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, Maryland men’s basketball returns to the court Tuesday night to take on Northwestern.
The Terps’ loss to the Illini was their worst loss of the season, as they blew a double-digit first-half lead and committed a season-high 21 turnovers. Bruno Fernando was still solid with 19 points and 10 rebounds, but the rest of the team struggled against Illinois’ pesky defense and a box-and-1 on Anthony Cowan Jr. After losing to both No. 6 Michigan State and Illinois, the Terps dropped eight spots to No.
