NEWARK, N.J. — Anthony Cowan Jr. drove to the right side of the basket with 10:45 to go in the first half and kept going, attempting to sneak in a reverse layup past Seton Hall center Ike Obiagu.
But as he lofted his shot towards the left side of the backboard, the ball was violently swatted away by the 7’2 sophomore, adding to the Pirates’ five blocks in the first 10 minutes of the game.
No. 7 Maryland men's basketball was suffocated by Seton Hall’s defense all night, failing to get anything going offensively in the 52-48 loss, its second straight defeat.
