Maryland basketball looked to be cruising to an easy win against Wisconsin, until it wasn’t. Despite leading by 18 points with 10:38 remaining, the Terps’ offense went cold and the Badgers got hot and took a 60-59 lead with 2:01 remaining. Then, in the final minute, Anthony Cowan Jr. hit one of his patented desperation threes to give Maryland its first field goal in over 10 minutes and the lead for good.
Here’s what went right, what went wrong and what went really wrong in the Terps’ 64-60 win.
Cowan remembers sitting in his basement three years ago, watching Melo Trimble hit a game-winning three at Wisconsin with five seconds remaining.
