11:15 p.m. — It's a final. Maryland wins 64-55, and Indiana falls to 6-5 in the Big Ten. Next up, Purdue on Saturday at Assembly Hall. Second-lowest point total of the season, only the loss at Rutgers (48) was worse.
11:06 p.m. — Another 20-rebound night for Trayce Jackson-Davis. That's his third of the year. It's the most rebounds ever by a player here at the Xfinity Center.
11:02 p.m. — Indiana on a run, cuts the lead to 54-49. Can make it a one-possession game, but Jalen Hood-Schifino misses an off-balance shot in the lane. He's now 0-for-11 from the field.
10:50 p.m. — Jahmir Young scores and the Maryland lead grows to 12 at 54-42.

10:40 p.m. — Horrible shooting by both teams so far this half. Maryland only 2-for-11 so far, and Indiana not much better at 3-for-11.
10:35 p.m. — It's nights like this where Indiana really misses Xavier Johnson. Jalen Hood-Schifino is really struggling. He's 0-for-8 shooting and has four turnovers. Trey Galloway on the bench with three fouls, too, which limits options.
10:30 p.m. — That flagrant foul on Tamar Bates really hurt. Maryland back up six now.
10:25 p.m. — Indiana scores the first six points of the half to get back in it. The first five come from Race Thompson. Tough foul call on Trey Galloway, and that's his third. Maryland leads 39-37 with 15:49 to go.
CRAZIEST STAT OF ALL: Maryland didn't have any turnovers at all in the first half. Hoosiers need to be applying more pressure defensively.
STATS OF NOTE: Trayce Jackson-Davis has eight points and 11 rebounds already. ... Hoosiers shooting just 44 percent from the field. ... Indiana had 11 personal fouls, Maryland had just five.
HALFTIME: We got to the break with Maryland leading 37-29. A tough first half for Indiana guard Jalen Hood-Schifino, who has just one point. He's 0-for-4 from the field, with 1-of-2 free throws and two turnovers. Remember, he had 20 in the first half vs. Ohio State on Saturday.
9:56 p.m. — Indiana's offense has really bogged down. Just four points in the last eight minutes before Jalen Hood-Schifino makes a free throw with 1:34 to go. Indiana down 33-27.
9:49 p.m. — Indiana's gotten a little sloppy with the ball, and Maryland is taking advantage, going on a 15-4 run to take the lead. We're at the under-4 media timeout and the Terps lead 30-26 with 3:02.

9:37 p.m. — Maryland finally gets some threes to fall, and the lead is back to one at 24-23. There's a media timeout with 6:34 to go. Jahmir Young with 10 points already for Maryland. Getting too many easy looks.
9:35 p.m. — With that made three-pointer, Trey Galloway is 18-for-36 from three this year, an even 50 percent. Such a dramatic improvement from a year ago. Wish he'd shoot more.
9:32 p.m. — Trey Galloway hits a three-pointer and then Kaleb Banks scores on a layup and the Hoosiers have their biggest lead of the game at 22-15. Maryland coach Kevin Willard forced to call a timeout with 9:19 to go.

8:15 p.m. ET -- Indiana point guard Xavier Johnson got a little work in before warmups. He did some dribbling and shooting, but he's still not allowed to do any running or jumping. Still a few weeks away for sure, but he's promising a return before the regular season ends
