Melo Trimble kept Maryland within striking distance with his slashing layups and ability to get to the foul line. When the game was on the line, it was time for Dez Wells to shine.
The gritty guard scored all but two of his 14 points in the second half, and teamed with Trimble to make several key baskets down the stretch, helping Maryland to a 78-73 victory over Arizona State on Monday night in the semifinals of the CBE Classic.
“We were going to Dez. I told the whole team, the whole staff,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. “We were just creating plays in timeouts, drawing them up in the dirt there, trying to get him the ball, letting him make plays. He made some big-time shots.”
Melo’s numbers—7-11 from the field—-13-14 Foul Shots, 1 assit —3 turnovers
Dez’ Numbers—14 points—8 rebounds—4 assists—4 steals
Celovsky and Dodd combined for 6-11 shooting
Jake—12 points—4 rebounds
A very strong effort by Maryland against a good shooting team
