In the first half of Tuesday night’s game against the Miami (FL) Hurricanes (16-10, 7-6 Atlantic Coast Conference), the Maryland Terrapins got off to a fast start and then had a long scoring drought.
Maryland (16-11, 6-7) had an early 10 point lead, but the Hurricanes erased it to lead at halftime.
Sophomore guard Terrell Stoglin led the way on offense as usual with 20 points in Maryland’s 75-70 victory.
James Padgett had one of the better games of the season. He went 6-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 from the foul line to end up with 16 points, which included a late three-point play to give Maryland the lead for good.
Nick Faust also played a very good game in his new role as point guard, scoring eight points, dishing four assists and a big steal near the end of the second half.
There were times when the Terps struggled on the defensive end. Their biggest problem was trying to stop Durand Scott, who had 14 points. Scott left the game after fouling out as time ticked down.
The game was a struggle for both teams, but the Terps were able to pull it out.
Maryland faces the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Saturday afternoon.
