Nick Martinelli hit a baseline jumper just before the overtime buzzer to lift Northwestern to a 76-74 win over Maryland, ending a three-game losing streak.
Northwestern was up 64-56 with 4:43 left in regulation, but a late 11-2 run by Maryland tied the game at 68-all. In overtime, both teams exchanged baskets before Martinelli’s game-winner.
Martinelli led Northwestern with 22 points, followed by Barnhizer with 20 points and Berry with 15.
