"There’s not much trajectory I can get on the ball if he pulls my arm down," Bohannon said. “[He hit me] on my forearm. I guess that’s part of the ball, though.”

Maryland and Iowa might not be rivals, but they’ve had their fair share of battles since joining the Big Ten and even before that when they met in the 2013 NIT semifinals.

The latest chapter was no different. The 24th-ranked Terps beat the 21st-ranked Hawkeyes, 66-65, in Iowa City Tuesday night thanks to a Bruno Fernando tip-in with 7.8 seconds left.

But the story afterward -- at least according to Jordan Bohannon -- was the officiating. Bohannon claimed that Anthony Cowan, who held the Iowa guard to 14 points on 2-11 shooting, fouled him on his game-winning three-point attempt in the final seconds. His shot had little arc and hit the front rim. Isaiah Moss’s follow-up was no good as well.

"There’s not much trajectory I can get on the ball if he pulls my arm down," Bohannon said. “[He hit me] on my forearm. I guess that’s part of the ball, though.”

Bohannon added that Cowan -- who finished with a game-high 17 points and eight assists -- should’ve fouled out in the first half.

"I had all ball,” Cowan said. “If we want to go back to the film, we can do that. I had all ball. I knew I wasn't going to foul it."

Bohannon responded on Twitter by calling Cowan’s comments “fake news”.

“The kid’s made incredible shots,” Terps coach Mark Turgeon said of Bohannon, who hit a game-winner over Northwestern nine days prior. “You just hope the luck ran out. I wouldn’t say it was luck because he’s a big-time shooter, but I think Anthony kind of got a finger on it on the way up, it looked like.”

Hawkeyes coach Fran McCaffery, known for his short temper, didn’t say whether he thought there was a foul on the final play, nor was he specifically asked about it by any of the Iowa media.

“I think Jordan felt like he was free enough to pull, and he wants to be the guy to shoot it in that situation,” McCaffery said. “If you go back and look at it, we had some guys who were open. Maybe could have kicked it. They doubled him. He did a good job freeing himself up.

“I think he's facing teams, not just this team, but teams that are going to focus on stopping him,” McCaffery continued. “They're going to face guard him. They're going to chase him. They're going to bang him. They'll trap him. And it's kind of what he's got to get used to. It's been happening to him since high school. So it's no different. I think if there's any frustration, it's just that he expects to make more shots than he made tonight. And he was trying. He was working. I'm proud of him.”

Bohannon complained about the officiating after Maryland’s 91-73 win over Iowa last year as well. McCaffery was ejected late in that meeting after picking up back-to-back technical fouls.

“Can’t fly out tonight,” Bohannon wrote at the time. “Just found out our plane got hit on the tarmac, no foul was called. Contemplating retirement. Thanks, @NCAA.”

The Terps were called for 10 more fouls than the Hawkeyes Tuesday night and Bruno Fernando and Jalen Smith both spent significant time on the bench due to foul trouble. Asked whether he thought his team was aggressive enough after getting into the double bonus early in the second half, McCaffery said, “No, maybe not. It wasn't like we changed anything. It's not like we said, okay, we're going to start shooting jumpers. We wanted to drive and throw it in, wanted to pitch it to the rim. We ran different kinds of actions to get that done. We ran some plays with post-up action. We found ourselves open with some jump shot opportunities and fortunately enough of them went in so we could take the lead.”

Iowa, which trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half, took a 65-64 lead on a pair of free throws by Bohannon after Cowan was called for a foul going for a steal with 17 seconds left. The two players went at it most of the night, and there has always seemed to be a little bit of a rivalry between the two. Bohannon beat Cowan out for a spot on the all-Big Ten freshman team in 2016, which led to Turgeon uncharacteristically expressing his disappointment via Twitter that neither Cowan, Kevin Huerter or Justin Jackson were selected.

“I guess 24 wins, 12 league wins & 8 road wins while starting 3 freshman doesn't result in anyone being on the Big Ten all-freshman team,” Turgeon tweeted. “I thought winning was the most important factor.”

The Terps lead the all-time series 6-3, with their lone loss at Carver Arena coming in 2015 when Melo Trimble was famously poked in the eye by Hawkeyes center Adam Woodbury. Turgeon was asked after Tuesday’s game what it is about the two teams when they go head-to-head that produces such great games and memorable moments.

“I don’t know. It’s two good programs,” he said. “I think they’re unbelievably well-coached and I think our teams kind of match-up well. He’s had really good teams since I’ve been in the league, we’ve had really good teams, so I don’t know what it is but I’m just glad tonight we came out on top.”
