The Maryland men's basketball team lost at Nebraska, 70-66, Feb. 13. The Terps fell to 17-11 overall and 6-9 in the Big Ten. Here are four observations on the loss:
1. Maryland's four-point loss was all too familiar.
The Terps fell to 1-7 on the road during Big Ten play, with their last five losses coming by a combined 20 points. Those five losses came at Michigan, Indiana, Purdue, Penn State and Nebraska; a win against any of those teams would have altered Maryland's NCAA Tournament chances. Instead, the Terps' only chance to get into the tournament may be to win the Big Ten tournament Feb. 28-March 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y.
