Maryland men’s basketball coach Mark Turgeon said after Friday’s practice that the Terps spent much of their 10-day break working on offense.

Does free-throw shooting count in that equation?

Maryland’s poor free-throw shooting and Seton Hall’s accuracy from the foul line contributed significantly to the Pirates leaving Xfinity Center on Saturday night with a 78-74 victory.

The loss for Maryland (9-3) was its first after a long break for exams since an 83-77 loss to Boston University during the 2013-14 season.

Despite making their last four free throws, the Terps wound up 12-for-20 from the foul line, and missed an opportunity to build on what had been a four-point halftime lead.
