Despite Isaiah Roby’s second double-double of the season, Nebraska fell to No. 24 Maryland, 60-45, Wednesday evening at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Roby was a bright spot for the Huskers (13-10, 3-9 Big Ten), finishing with 20 points, a career-high 14 rebounds and five blocked shots.
Roby’s third career 20-point game was not enough, as Maryland held the Huskers to season lows in points (45) and field goal percentage (21.1). James Palmer Jr. added 12 points and went over 1,000 career points as the Huskers dropped their sixth straight game.
NU used an early 10-3 run to build a seven-point lead at 15-8, as Roby scored 12 of the Huskers’ first 15 points.
