Maryland men’s basketball had a huge opportunity in College Park to build on its two-game winning streak and make a statement to the rest of the conference. Instead, the Terps laid an egg in a 68-55 loss to Indiana.
Maryland got off to a quick 8-0 advantage behind an energized crowd, but from there it was all Indiana. The Hoosiers limited Maryland’s leading scorers as both guard Eric Ayala and forward Donta Scott combined for just 13 points.
“Indiana came out and made some plays in very critical moments,” interim head coach Danny Manning said.
Following a win against Rutgers where Maryland made the most threes in a game it had all season, the Terps were abysmal shooting the ball.
