With 24 seconds remaining and No. 9 Maryland men’s basketball down 73-69 to Minnesota, Donta Scott secured the rebound off Marcus Carr’s missed free throw, giving the ball to Anthony Cowan Jr., who raced to the top of the arc before launching a three.
His shot was off — one of his eight misses from deep on the night — but Jalen Smith came flying in for a putback dunk to cut Maryland’s deficit to just two.
And when Minnesota missed yet another front end of a one-and-one seconds later, Aaron Wiggins raced up the court. He dumped the ball off to Cowan on the arc, setting everything up for the senior point guard to make another signature moment.
