With 1:30 to go in the game and Maryland men’s basketball trailing by five, the Terps were trying to generate some offense, something it failed to do throughout the second half against Rutgers. Guard Eric Ayala shot a three from the left wing that hit off the back iron.
Maryland secured the offensive rebound and kicked it out to guard Fatts Russell. Russell also attempted a three to no avail. Rutgers came down the other end and nailed a three, pushing its lead to eight, all but locking in Rutgers’ first road win of the year and Maryland’s fifth Big Ten loss of the season through six conference games.
