Maryland basketball holds off Iowa for thrilling 66-65 win

Maryland men’s basketball snuck out of Iowa City with its first road win over a ranked opponent in two presidential administrations, beating No. 21 Iowa 66-65 on a game-winning tip-in Tuesday night.

After a cold beginning for both teams, No. 24 Maryland had been able to take control of the game for most of the second half. As its offense waned, though, Iowa continued to push and took a 63-62 lead with just over a minute left. Bruno Fernando, despite having a down game, hit two free throws and put Maryland back ahead.
