Takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s win over Iowa

After trailing Iowa for nearly 30 minutes Wednesday, Maryland men’s basketball came alive late to snap a three-game losing streak with a 78-66 win.

Here are some takeaways from the Terps’ victory.

Maryland rebounded from a low-energy start

XFINITY Center was lifeless to begin Wednesday’s game — and Maryland’s early play mirrored that.

Maryland made just two first of its first 12 shots and committed five turnovers in the game’s opening 10 minutes, which mostly continued the silence of an unenergized home crowd.

“Our defense is really good to start games at home, and our offense I think is just a little timid,” head coach Kevin Willard said.
