With Maryland struggling early, 'Stix' steps up to lead No. 24 Terps past Nebraska

Bruno Fernando was frustrated, feeling a little claustrophobic with all the double teams the Nebraska men’s basketball team was throwing at him. Anthony Cowan Jr. was still in an offensive funk, seemingly trying to find a balance between not shooting too much or even at all.

It was left to Jalen Smith to rescue No. 24 Maryland from another slow start and potentially another bad loss.

Smith, who like Fernando has been frustrated recently with the way opposing teams have been using their physicality to defend him, and like Cowan has gone from dominating to disappearing in a matter of minutes in some games, did just that.
