With just over four minutes remaining and No. 7 Maryland men’s basketball holding onto a six point lead against Northwestern, Jalen Smith jumped up and secured his 17th rebound of the night.
Following the rebound, Smith waited underneath the basket until Anthony Cowan Jr. drove down the lane and threw him a lob. The Baltimore big man caught the pass and threw down a dunk that electrified the Xfinity Crowd and kept the team’s offense alive, sparking a 6-0 run to create some separation.
The sophomore’s play helped push the Terps to a 76-67 victory over the Wildcats — their ninth consecutive win.
