No. 13 Maryland men’s basketball faced a straightforward challenge: defeat No. 17 Michigan on the road, and it would move within one win of securing a double bye in the Big Ten Tournament.
The Terps rose to the occasion, marching into Crisler Center and knocking off the Wolverines, 71-65. Rodney Rice led the way with 19 points on 6-of-14 shooting.
Here are three takeaways from the game.
