Improved free-throw shooting plays big part in No. 19 Maryland's six-game winning streak

As Maryland’s field-goal drought in the second half of Monday’s game against Wisconsin dragged on — eventually lasting more than 10 minutes — the Terps saw what had been a 21-point lead evaporate and turn into a one-point deficit with a little over two minutes left at Xfinity Center.

Lost in the dramatic nature of what would become a 64-60 victory was the way the 19th-ranked Terps continued to hit free throws. Though overshadowed by Anthony Cowan Jr.’s go-ahead 3-pointer with 44 seconds remaining, efficiency at the foul line helped pull Maryland to its sixth straight victory.
