Rapid Reaction: Northwestern holds on to down Maryland 60-55 and win second straight

EVANSTON, Illinois — A...winning streak? You better believe it.

Northwestern (8-14, 4-14 Big Ten) used a game-ending 6-0 run to beat Maryland (15-11, 9-10) 60-55 in a sluggish meeting on Wednesday night in Evanston.

In the defense-first affair, NU propped itself up with the long ball early, hitting 10 threes despite going without one for the final 16:34.

After shooting the ball well for the majority of the game, the Terrapins missed their final seven looks as they didn’t score in the game’s final 2:32. For a while, Maryland simply couldn’t get out of its own way.
