Maryland wrestling finished in last place at the Big Ten Championships for the second straight season after scoring 7.5 points.
Maryland's 10.5-point finish last season was the third-worst score that the Big Ten had seen in the past three decades. This season, despite an improved but inexperienced roster, the Terps managed to underperform that score.
In 2015, Maryland went 0-10 in its first 10 matches at the Big Ten Championships. In 2016, Maryland went 1-9 in its first 10 matches. By starting off the tournament so poorly, the team had almost no margin for error.
With less automatic bids up for grabs this season, wrestlers could be eliminated earlier than they were last year.
