The Gophers once again let a second half lead slip away, this time at home to the Maryland Terrapins who used 11 three pointers to sink the Gophers 85-78. The loss was Minnesota’s fifth in a row and dropped them to 15-7 on the season and 3-6 in the conference.
The Terps had no answer for the Gophers in the first half on either end of the court, with Coffey raining threes, Lynch having a block party, and Springs taking it hard to the hoop. Minnesota actually had a calculated, competent half court set when the situation called for it, but also did a lot of damage off Maryland turnovers.
