Maryland men’s basketball experienced its first taste of overtime basketball Thursday at Northwestern, and the result was heartbreaking.
With 0.7 seconds left in the extra period, Wildcats forward Nick Martinelli rotated from the top of the key to the baseline before sinking a game-winning jumper off an inbounds play to win the game, 76-74, and send Welsh-Ryan Arena into a frenzy.
The Terps struggled in overtime, shooting just 2-of-6 from the field and 0-of-2 from 3-point range.
Maryland also stumbled out of the gate, committing three sloppy turnovers in the first three and a half minutes.
