Maryland Men’s Basketball Faces Shocking Setback Against No. 12 Nebraska: What Went Wrong?

Metcalf has been an important part of Maryland’s gameplan, but when he picked up his fourth foul with 9:51 remaining in the game, Williams opted to try to preserve him. Coit entered the game in his place, and the Terps’ lead quickly evaporated. Maryland needs its starting center to be on the court in late-game situations.

The Terps haven’t been able to take advantage of fouls going the other way, either. They have single-digit free throw makes in three of their last four games.

Turnovers also hit in key situations. Maryland only committed four in the second half, but Nebraska’s quick transitions led to nine points off of them, including the 3-pointer that pushed its lead to double digits.

The execution has improved from the Terps over the duration of the season, particularly in the assists column. And they have shown an ability to gut games out when they are close. But Maryland still has to limit turnovers and fouls to keep those games close and give themselves a chance.
