On Sunday afternoon, No. 13 Maryland lost steam in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and fell to No. 9 Michigan, 71-59. The defeat ended the Terps’ eight-game win streak and marked the first loss since Jan. 20. By closing the door on Maryland (20-7, 12-4 Big Ten), Michigan (21-4, 12-3) stayed undefeated at home in conference play this season and pushed its home win stretch to 14.
A 10-0 Michigan run in the fourth was the difference Sunday, and the Wolverines improved to 8-1 against AP-Top 25 teams this year, which is a program record. Several late threes from the visitors made things interesting, but spot-on free-throw shooting iced the game for Michigan.
