Maryland Men’s Basketball Faces Shocking Setback Against No. 12 Nebraska: What Went Wrong?
Nebraska entered the game shooting a lot of 3-pointers, and shooting them well. Maryland knew that and held its opponents to a below-average game from beyond the arc while at least hanging on near the net.
There was a little bit of luck involved — Mills’ heavily-contested prayer shot a minute before the break had no business going in.
But a lot of it was the game plan. Maryland looks like a team that can hang around in the Big Ten. It is still outmatched talent and roster composition-wise. But the difference between the Maryland team that played a similar-level game a month ago and the Maryland team that played Wednesday was vast.
…until Diggy Coit steps on the floor.
