CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — That was ugly.
Although it came into Sunday afternoon against the Maryland Terrapins as near-double-digit favorites, Illinois’ struggles were more apparent than ever.
Both teams traded punches in the first half, but Maryland took a charge in the second half and held an eight-point lead with under six minutes to go.
But Brad Underwood’s team fought back to a five-point deficit with a minute remaining. With the crowd on its feet, Maryland’s star guard Jahmir Young charged down the court on the fast break.
Looking up, he found a wide-open Jordan Geromino near the basket. The forward slammed it home, giving the Terrapins the exclamation point in a stunning upset win.
Illinois fell apart offensively in the second half, and the Terrapin duo of Young and Julian Reese were too much for the Illini to overcome in a 76-67 loss.
