Maryland men’s basketball trailed, 78-76, with just 18 seconds left in the game. After completely erasing a 10-point deficit minutes prior, Indiana’s home crowd poured noise over the Terps as they tried to organize their offense.
But Rodney Rice had one last improbable answer. With just 10 seconds left, Rice curled around a Julian Reese screen and hurled a heavily contested 3-pointer. The shot was money.
After some shaky sequences in the second half, the Terps came up huge when it mattered, taking down Indiana, 79-78, Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Rice finished with a game-high 23 points, his third 20-point performance of the season.
