After 2nd-half tie, Terrapins outlast Hoosiers 80-68 in close contest

The Hoosiers were tied with the Terrapins at 54-54 in the second half, before Maryland reeled off a 24-9 run that lasted up until the final minute. The loss had the feel of many IU contests from a season ago. More than anything, it proved that there is still growing to be done in Bloomington.
