Smith didn't wait for last-second heroics in Lincoln. He did his most serious damage early in the game after Isaiah Roby scored 12 of Nebraska's first 15 points to give the Cornhuskers a 15-8 lead.

But Smith went to work and scored 11 straight to put the Terrapins up 19-15.

Fernando scored his first basket of the game and Ricky Lindo Jr.'s putback gave Maryland a 23-15 lead. Roby ended an eight-plus minute scoring drought and sank one of two free throws at the 3:29 mark.

Despite just making one field goal in the final 11:40 of the first half, Nebraska trailed by just eight at intermission.

Nebraska's leading scorer, James Palmer Jr. (19.3 per game), had just one field goal and three points in the first half.

Anthony Cowan, Maryland's leading scorer at 16.7 per game, was held to just two first-half points.

Despite continuing offensive woes, Nebraska trailed by just 31-27 after Roby sank a 3-point jumper to end a 15-minute field-goal dry spell.

The turning point came with just under 13 minutes left, when Nebraska head coach Tim Miles picked up a technical foul after Fernando backed up and knocked down Nebraska's Tanner Borchardt on a slam dunk. Fernando then seemed to intentionally stomp on a prone Borchardt.

No foul was called and a protesting Miles was hit with a technical. Cowan's free throw made the score 41-30.
