Maryland pulls out comeback win over Northwestern

Dez Wells and No. 13 Maryland handed Northwestern another heartbreaking loss on Sunday.

Wells' acrobatic putback with 1.4 seconds remaining capped a furious comeback and lifted the Terrapins to a 68-67 victory.

Northwestern appeared on its way to snapping a five-game losing streak as the Wildcats led by 11 with under 3 1/2 minutes on the clock.

But Melo Trimble's three-point play ignited a 16-4 run to end the game, and the Terrapins (18-3, 6-2 Big Ten) escaped with a win three days after losing by 19 to Indiana.
