The Wildcats walked into College Park and got annihilated by No. 3 Maryland.
Northwestern (13-4, 2-2) was unable to rebound from a close game against Ohio State and lost 96-65 to a vastly superior Maryland (15-1, 3-0) team. Northwestern was down 23-10 after 10 minutes and 45-22 at halftime and were thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the ball despite receiving 22 points from Nia Coffey and 17 from Christen Inman.
But there’s only so much you can do against the best team in the Big Ten on the road. Maryland nearly ended UConn’s historic win streak last week and has been playing at an otherworldly level behind first-year point guard Destiny Slocum.
