IOWA CITY — Maryland men’s basketball coach Kevin Willard didn’t hesitate when drawing up the play for the Terrapins’ final possession with the score tied Wednesday night at Iowa. The simple instruction to his players in the closing seconds: Get the ball in the hands of Jahmir Young and get out of the way.
The fifth-year point guard did the rest, measuring his defender while dribbling near the foul line, maneuvering left around a screen from teammate Donta Scott and sinking a floating layup with 1.5 seconds left to complete a second-half comeback that sealed a 69-67 win at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
