The start of the second half of games had been the biggest problem for the Maryland men's basketball team during its first three-game losing streak in five years.
In the first two losses, at Wisconsin and at home to Minnesota, the Terps watched a first-half lead evaporate quickly. In its most recent defeat, at home to Iowa on Saturday, Maryland simply disappeared.
Faced with the possibility of losing their top-four seed and double-bye into the quarterfinals of the Big Ten tournament, the old Terps reappeared Tuesday against Rutgers at the Louis Brown Athletic Center.
