After 45 minutes of basketball, Maryland men’s basketball and Northwestern entered a second overtime period with the game tied at 83 points apiece.
The Terps got out to a quick start after winning the jump ball as guard Fatts Russell put the ball up near the basket setting guard Xavier Green up for the alley-oop. Northwestern responded to tie the game but after that, the Terps went on a run and never trailed.
A jumper from guard Hakim Hart along with a jumper and a free throw from Russell gave the Terps a five-point lead. Although Northwestern cut the lead to as few as three, Maryland continued to build on its momentum, drawing fouls and ultimately, holding on to the lead.
