Playing the same team on back-to-back days would make for a strange experience for any college basketball team. Having the double-header cap a run of seven games played over just 12 days following a 27-day layoff, and you might see a team worn down, unable to keep pace in the critical moments when the game is decided. The Nebraska Cornhuskers, just as they did Tuesday, succumbed to a fresher Maryland squad on Wednesday, this time 79-71.
Leading the way for Nebraska (5-14 overall, 1-11 B1G) was Teddy Allen, scoring a game-high 25 points, including 15 in the second half.
