CHICAGO — For newcomers to the Maryland men’s basketball program such as Jahmir Young, Don Carey, Jahari Long and Kevin Willard, their first immersion in the Big Ten tournament might have been nice, but it was short-lived.
One day after running over No. 14 seed Minnesota in a second-round game, the No. 6 seed Terps were bounced out of the tournament by No. 3 seed Indiana, which forged a 70-60 victory in a quarterfinal Friday night before an announced 18,892 at the United Center.
In a case of quality over quantity, Maryland received double-digit point production from four starters, a group led by senior shooting guard Hakim Hart’s team-high 16 points. But that output wasn’t enough to cancel out the brilliance of the Hoosiers’ Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino, who combined to score 43 of their team’s 70 points.
