Once Again–Great Effort by Melo and the Terps–Maryland 84 Iowa76

This season just keeps getting better.  The underdog Terps were able to overcome an inexplicable 21 turnovers by shooting 55%, including 11-23 from the trey line, as well as producing 23 assists.

Justin Jackson’s line–12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 6 steals. Yes, Justin is a freshman.

Cowan—5-6 from the Field 15 points, 6 points, 3 steals but 8 turnovers.

But the star of tonight was Melo–5 treys and was pure money when it mattered

Terps regain undisputed 1st place for the time being at 5-1 and next play Rutgers on Tuesday night at Xfinity.

Melo Trimble scored 20 points and 25th-ranked Maryland rallied after letting a 15-point lead slip away to outlast Iowa 84-76 on Thursday night for its fourth straight victory.

Trimble broke out of a slump with consecutive 3-pointers in the final 3 minutes to key the Terrapins (17-2, 5-1), who have also won three in a row on the road (Michigan, Illinois and Iowa).

“We just kept believing that we were going to win,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. “Just another gutty road win for us.”

Maryland was threatening to blow out the Hawkeyes (11-9, 3-4) before Iowa went on a 10-0 run midway through the second half.

The Hawkeyes went ahead 72-69, but an 8-0 spurt fueled by Trimble’s 3s gave Maryland a lead it did not relinquish.

“I had that in my mind the whole game, just to keep being aggressive,” said Trimble. “I had that aggressive mindset to just keep shooting.”

Anthony Cowan had 15 points and six assists for the Terrapins, who shot 56.6 percent from the field.
