The Iowa men’s basketball team went ice cold down the stretch at Maryland, Wednesday, and the Hawkeye’s six game winning streak came to an end. The Terrapins took the lead for good with an 8-0 second half run in a 77-70 victory. The Hawkeyes shot less than 43 percent for the game and made only three-of-16 from three point range after halftime. Bennett Stirtz led the Hawkeyes with 32 points.

Stirtz was 13-of-21 from the field and also had six assists.

That’s Iowa coach Ben McCollum. Tavion Banks was the only other Hawkeye in double figures with 13 points. Maryland shot better than 53 percent and diced up the Hawkeyes by driving the lane.

McCollum says the Hawkeyes need to do a better job of being ready at tip-off.

The Hawkeyes are 8-5 in the Big Ten and 18-6 overall.
