Over the last two seasons, winning on the road in the Big Ten has been a seldom sight for Maryland men’s basketball.
But for 25 minutes Sunday, it looked like Maryland was going to secure just its second conference road victory in the past calendar year. Instead, the Terps were outplayed in second half by Minnesota, resulting in a 65-62 defeat.
A seven-point halftime lead turned worthless as Minnesota capitalized on every beat thereafter. The Golden Gophers made five of their 3-point attempts in the second half, a different story than their 1-of-14 stat line in the first 20 minutes.
