Maryland men’s basketball fell just short of its upset bid against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Monday night. The Terps lost by five in their second Big Ten matchup of the season and they now move to 8-5 on the season and 0-2 in conference play.
The defeat snaps Maryland’s three-game winning streak and interim head coach Danny Manning now has a 3-2 record while leading the program. The Terps are now officially 0-1 in true road games.
Maryland will play next on Jan. 6 in another road matchup, this time against Illinois.
Here are my three biggest takeaways from Maryland’s loss to Iowa.
