Piscataway, N.J. — As the shot clock winded down with a little over 15 minutes remaining against Rutgers, Anthony Cowan Jr. panicked and flung up an ill-advised three-pointer.
The Scarlet Knights grabbed the rebound, but slowed it down on the other end to look for the right shot. Ron Harper Jr. drained a shot over the arms of Aaron Wiggins from the corner and thumped his chest in celebration as the Terps went down by 14 points for the fourth consecutive game.
A few minutes later, Rutgers guard Montez Mathis found teammate Jacob Young in the paint, who sunk a contested layup to bring the Maryland deficit to 17-points.
