Some clanked off the iron and some deadened off the back rim, but rarely did one of Maryland men’s basketball’s three-point attempts touch nylon. The Terps launched 22 shots from beyond the arc and made just two in the latest episode of their offensive struggles, falling to Northwestern, 68-61, Wednesday night in College Park.
Despite holding the Wildcats (20-8, 11-6 Big Ten) below their average of 74.4 points per game, Maryland (16-13, 7-11) couldn’t overcome a horrendous shooting performance that saw them go just 21 of 54 from the field and make fewer than 10% of their threes.
