That story is from last week. It was déjà vu all over again Tuesday night, as the Terps fell 70-66 at Nebraska. The loss dropped Maryland to 6-9 in Big Ten play and extended its road losing streak to seven consecutive games.
It’s been a bewildering, agonizing stretch. The Terps, who were 7-2 in Big Ten road games last year, are now 1-7 this season. The last five defeats have all been by single-digits, and it seems like they’ve all happened the same way—fall behind, keep it close, but do just enough wrong to fall short.
