No. 20 Maryland men’s basketball had a golden chance to bounce back from a two-game losing spell with college basketball titan and No. 16 UCLA coming to town.
The XFINITY Center was ready to roll for the top-20 showdown, but the Terps came out flat for the second straight game.
Maryland buried itself in a hole from the get-go Wednesday — just like it did in its last game against Tennessee before steadily clawing its way back — but this one was unconquerable.
The Terps fell to UCLA, 87-60, wrapping up an unforgiving four-game slate to start December — one that they went 1-3 during.
