Maryland sophomore guard Darryl Morsell had beaten Iowa’s press and was racing up the court last Tuesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, with sophomore center Bruno Fernando keeping pace.
A rare fast-break opportunity was developing for the Terps as they tried to protect a 12-point lead that had been trimmed to four with a little over three minutes left. But as Morsell got closer to the basket, indecision crept into his mind.
What looked like the possibility for a driving layup by Morsell or a lob pass to Fernando became neither. When Iowa’s Isaiah Moss challenged Morsell, he rushed a low bounce pass in Fernando’s direction that went awry.
