The Maryland men's basketball team lost, 71-68, at Indiana Jan. 22. The Terps fell to 15-7 overall and 4-5 in the Big Ten. Here are four observations on the loss:
1. Maryland's close losses, especially away from Xfinity Center, are starting to add up, which might be too much to overcome on Selection Sunday.
The Terps lost three out of four games over the course of eight days in late November and early December by a total of nine points to St. Bonaventure, Syracuse and Purdue. That tough stretch proved to be a sign of things to come; Maryland has now lost four of its past six games, and its last two losses -- at Michigan and Indiana by a total of four points -- have been especially harmful to the Terps' tournament chances.
