The Maryland men's basketball team lost at No. 23 Michigan, 68-67, Jan. 15. The loss dropped the Terps to 14-6 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten. Here are four observations on the loss:
1. Maryland's late-game comeback went for naught.
It appeared Michigan might coast to victory after a basket by sophomore forward Charles Matthews put the Wolverines up, 59-49, with 5:50 left regulation. But the Terps rallied to score the next five points to get back in the game, and the teams exchanged body blows during the final four minutes of regulation. Sophomore guards Kevin Huerter and Anthony Cowan Jr. both made huge 3-pointers down the stretch; Cowan's closed the Terps' deficit to 66-64 with 20 seconds left.
