Maryland men’s basketball took a two-game winning streak up Interstate 95 to Rutgers, looking to start a run that could salvage some pride late in the Big Ten calendar.  Instead, the Terps faltered out of the gate and failed to match the Scarlet Knights’ second-half tempo as they dropped a 68-57 affair.

Joey Spallina was practically a nonfactor in last year’s two meetings between No. 1 Maryland men’s lacrosse and No. 2 Syracuse.
