Maryland 82, No. 1 North Carolina 80

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Bambale Osby scored inside with 21 seconds left to help Maryland stun North Carolina, the Tar Heels’ first loss of the season. James Gist had 22 points and 13 rebounds for the Terrapins (12-7, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who blew an 11-point lead midway through the second half but still held on in a back-and-forth finish to win here for the first time since 2003. Tyler Hansbrough had 17 points and 14 rebounds for the Tar Heels (18-1, 3-1), who had several chances in the final seconds to answer Osby’s basket. But after Wayne Ellington missed a 3-pointer and a driving shot, North Carolina could only watch as Hansbrough’s last gasp 3-pointer bounced off the rim as the horn sounded.
