The Nebraska men's basketball team had 13 steals and forced 17 turnovers at Maryland Tuesday night, but the strong defensive effort was not enough to overcome a cold-shooting night in a 64-50 loss to the Terrapins.
Nebraska's 13 steals were its most in Big Ten play and its second-highest total this season. NU forced Maryland into a season-high 17 turnovers – six above its season average – but Nebraska scored only four points off those turnovers.
While the defensive effort was strong, Nebraska struggled with its shooting. The Huskers shot just 33 percent in the game, including only 29 percent in the second half, when Nebraska made just 2-of-14 3-pointers.
