Maryland Wins Narrow Victory Against Nebraska

Maryland's men's basketball team secured a narrow 69-66 victory over Nebraska, with junior point guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie leading the team by scoring 22 points and reaching a career milestone of 1,000 points. Despite Maryland's strong start, Nebraska rallied from a nine-point deficit in the final minutes to tie the game, but Gillespie's layup with 40 seconds left secured the win for the Terrapins. Maryland, now 14-5 overall and 4-4 in the Big Ten, struggled to maintain their lead but improved to 4-0 in home conference games. The game was marked by strong performances from Maryland's Selton Miguel and Rodney Rice, who combined with Gillespie for a total of 10 three-pointers. Nebraska's Andrew Morgan led the Cornhuskers with 17 points off the bench, as they continued to struggle on the road, remaining winless in conference away games. This victory offers a reprieve from Maryland's recent struggles, foreshadowing a challenging upcoming schedule including games against ranked teams.
