Aaron Wiggins says he’s watched the last play of Maryland men’s basketball’s NCAA Tournament second round loss to LSU game a thousand times.
As he does, the different ways it could have ended race through his mind, wondering what could have gotten his team to the Sweet Sixteen.
“I’m thinking like, if that ball bounced, like just one little bounce or one wrong bounce,” Wiggins said earlier this month before letting out a big sigh.
That game sticks with most Maryland players to this day. It’s why the whole team was back in the gym two days after returning from Jacksonville, Florida, despite head coach Mark Turgeon suggesting players take one to two weeks off.
