Hoosiers make late run hold up with 71-68 win over Maryland

Juwan Morgan scored 10 of his 25 points during Indiana's decisive late run Monday night, leading the Hoosiers to a 71-68 victory over Maryland.

Robert Johnson had 12 points and eight rebounds as the Hoosiers (12-8, 5-3 Big Ten) closed out the game on a 14-6 spurt to win their fifth straight at home.

Anthony Cowan Jr. had 18 points and Kevin Huerter finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Terrapins (15-7, 4-5), who haven't won a conference road game since Dec. 3.

Both had a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds but Cowan's 3-pointer bounced high off the rim with six seconds left. And after Indiana's Zach McRoberts missed two free throws, Huerter's half-court heave was ruled to come after the buzzer. It was an air ball, anyway.

Maryland's offense struggled early and late and eventually, it proved costly.

After going more than 6½ minutes without a basket in the second half, the Terrapins used a 9-0 run to charge back and take a 62-57 lead with 4:53 left.

But Indiana scored seven straight and retook a 64-62 lead on Johnson's layup with 3:18 left.

Maryland never led again.
