Despite looking like it had found its groove with the arrival of March, Maryland men’s basketball saw some of its same struggles from earlier this season return in a 60-55 loss against Northwestern Wednesday.
The Terps had 15 turnovers, allowed eight made three-pointers in the first half and got not help from their bench in an all-around sloppy loss.
Even though Maryland may be safe on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble, a further collapse at the end of the season would serve as a gut punch for a team that fought so hard to put together a five-game conference win streak.
