Maryland men’s basketball’s Friday night thriller against No. 15 Marquette came down to the wire. After star guard Kam Jones missed both free throws already up two points, Terps’ guard DeShawn Harris-Smith had a chance to tie the game at the line after being fouled on a layup attempt.
But the sophomore missed both free throws.
Golden Eagles guard Stevie Mitchell then sunk two free throws of his own to ice the game. In its first true test of the season, the Terps battled it out with the Golden Eagles, but lost, 78-74.
The first five minutes was a back-and-forth affair.
