Time for a Monday afternoon list.
Short and sweet – a full list of Maryland’s victories when it scores less than 60 points since the advent of the shot clock in the college game in 1985-86.

Here goes:
42: Maryland 42, @West Virginia 41 (Dec. 12, 1985, Driesell)
52: Maryland 52, @Clemson 47 (Jan. 25, 2003, Williams)
54: Maryland 54, @Wake Forest 51 (Jan. 19, 1997, Williams)
56: Maryland 56, @Clemson 51 (Jan. 25, 1995, Williams)
57: Maryland 57, @Georgia Tech 56 (Feb. 8, 2009, Williams)
59: Maryland 59, @Wake Forest 48 (Feb. 26, 1986, Driesell)
Probably the most fascinating thing is that these are all road games. In the shot clock era, Maryland has never won a home game with less than 60 points.
Regardless of site, Maryland victories in low-scoring affairs like last night are roughly twice-a-decade phenomena, and Terp losses when both teams score less than 60 about a once-a-decade experience.
