The Maryland men’s basketball team’s bid for a signature victory only four games into the regular season came up agonizingly short against No. 15 Marquette on Friday night at packed Xfinity Center.
Amid an electric environment that felt more like March, the Terrapins were largely undone by wayward free throw shooting down the stretch in a 78-74 loss. Trailing by two, Maryland a chance to tie with 14.7 seconds to play in the second half, but DeShawn Harris-Smith missed a pair of free throws.
