If you watched from College Park on Friday night, you saw the lead vanish. Maryland led by 11 at halftime, then Virginia shot 76.9% in the second half and won 87-83.
Virginia rallied from a double-digit deficit behind 28 points from Sam Lewis. Maryland appeared poised for its first signature win under coach Buzz Williams, and he is now 0-10 against ranked opponents with the Terps.
