Maryland suffered one of the ugliest losses anywhere in college basketball this season, falling 68-63 to previously winless-in-Big Ten-play Minnesota on Thursday night. The Golden Gophers, who entered 0-13 in league play and a college basketball laughingstock, shocked the Terps at Williams Arena.
The Terps stormed back from an 11-point halftime deficit to take a late lead, but they faltered on several chances to seal the game in its final seconds. A Melo Trimble turnover in transition, with Maryland down a point with 30 seconds left, led to two Minnesota free throws that put the game mostly on ice.
