Midway through the second half, it looked like Maryland men’s basketball was doomed for a fourth straight loss. Trailing Iowa by 10, the Terps were playing with a distinct lack of energy.
But Maryland quickly reversed its fortunes, chipping away at its deficit by attacking the basket. Before long, the game was tied, and just seconds later the Terps were in the lead.
Maryland ultimately outscored the Hawkeyes by 18 in the second half and marched to a 78-66 win Wednesday in College Park.
“This was a huge win, man,” Maryland (14-11, 6-8 Big Ten) head coach Willard said after the game.
