BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — It started and ended with Jahmir Young free throws.
Maryland hadn’t scored in seven minutes and 39 seconds. It trailed by 12 in the first half when Jahmir Young forced his way to the rim and earned himself a pair of shots from the line. He drained both, spurring a gutsy comeback.
With just 4.7 seconds left to play, Young was fouled once more, this time intentionally with his team leading and a chance to extend its lead to three. His first shot was good. The second — no such luck.
West Virginia grabbed the rebound and raced down the court.
