Its first showing in Big Ten play since its loss to Northwestern wasn't a letdown by any means, but Maryland men’s basketball is now 8-5 on the year and 0-2 in conference play after falling to Iowa by five points on Monday night.
The Terps kept it close with the Hawkeyes, who own a sparkling 9-1 home record this season, though a stellar 35-point performance from star Keegan Murray sealed Maryland’s fate to snap its three-game winning streak.
The rigorous Big Ten schedule will carry on for interim head coach Danny Manning and the Terps as they will next face Illinois on Thursday at 7 p.
