The Northwestern possession toward the end of regulation of seventh-ranked Maryland’s 62-56 overtime victory Tuesday at Xfinity Center summed up a game-long futility on the defensive boards for the Terps.

The Wildcats took four shots, retrieved three offensive rebounds and finally relinquished possession after players from both teams fell to the court with their hands on the ball, the arrow pointing toward Maryland.
