The Maryland Terrapins men’s basketball team ended regular conference play with a 64-61 win at Nebraska on Sunday evening. No. 10 Maryland (26-5, 14-4 Big Ten) pulled ahead in the final seconds of the game with a key shot from Dez Wells to help secure their victory against the Huskers.

Melo Trimble and Dez Wells ultimately assisted to the Terps victory with 21 points and 20 points, while Nebraska’s Shavon Shields added 26 points and Terran Petteway added 19 to keep the Huskers in this competitive game.

Both of these opponents have been competitive against the Terps. The game will be at the United Center in Chicago, and it will take place on Friday at 6:30 p.m.
