Maryland men’s basketball was down 12 points to UAB midway through the second half. Relying on its dynamic backcourt of Jahmir Young and Deshawn Harris-Smith, the Terps battled back to cut UAB’s lead to two with 31 seconds remaining.
But the Terps’ comeback attempt fell just short. Harris-Smith missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer to seal Maryland’s second consecutive loss, 66-63.
Maryland (1-2) was the only team not to win a game in the Asheville Championship, previously losing to Davidson on Friday.
Young was the Terps’ leading scorer in both tournament games, scoring 18 points against Davidson and 14 points against UAB (1-2).
