Maryland men’s basketball came into Tuesday night riding high off a big win over Illinois that moved it to 8-0 on the season and No. 13 in the AP poll. But, in their first conference road game of the season, the Terps couldn’t overcome a costly 14 turnovers and a streaky shooting night, falling to Wisconsin, 64-59, for their first loss under Kevin Willard.
Despite numerous mistakes, the Terps hung around for much of the game — even leading in the second half — but couldn’t respond in time to a late Wisconsin run and saw their comeback attempt come up short.
