Terps 77 Gophers 66—-Terps are 4-4 in the Big Ten

My observations:

Good bounce back win for the Terps. Just a great overall floor game for Anthony Cowan.

Morsell continues his excellent play at home.

Ceko’s game was on tonight as well as Tomaic’s.

Dion was back tonight but as Turgeon afterwards “never found his rhythm”

Crowd for the late game was 13,736

The 2017 NCAA Lacroose Champions were honored during the 1st half. The season starts Sat May 10 vs Navy at 12PM in College Park

Kevin Huerter scored 19 points, Anthony Cowan Jr. had a career-high 10 assists and Maryland used a strong second half to beat cold-shooting Minnesota 77-66 Thursday night.

Michal Cekovsky delivered 10 of his 17 points during an 18-2 run that gave the Terrapins a 50-34 lead against the weary Golden Gophers, who could not summon the energy to make a comeback.

Maryland (15-6, 4-4 Big Ten) snapped a two-game skid and improved to 12-1 at home. Cowan did his part by distributing the ball and scoring all 15 of his points over the final 12 minutes.

Jordan Murphy had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Minnesota, his nation-leading 19th double-double of the season. The Golden Gophers are in the middle of a stretch of three games over six days, concluding with a matchup against No. 22 Ohio State in New York on Saturday afternoon.

Minnesota (14-7, 3-5) finished 23 for 64 (36 percent) from the floor and made only three baskets in the opening 10 minutes of the second half.

The Golden Gophers led 32-29 before Huerter hit a 3-pointer to spark the decisive run. The 7-foot-1 Cekovsky followed with the first of his five dunks in a span of just over 5 minutes, most of them on alley-oop passes from his guards.

With Huerter leading the way, Maryland made 10 of its first 12 field-goal tries after halftime.

In the first half, the Terrapins trailed 16-10 before Huerter scored eight points in a 13-0 run. It was 29-21 before Minnesota rattled off seven straight points to end the half.

Maryland will be back in action Monday for a matchup at Indiana. Tipoff on FS1 is slated for 7:00 pm.

Notes:

– Anthony Cowan posted his second career double-double (15 points, 10 assists) in the win, the most assists in a game by a Terp since Mello Trimble tallied 10 against Princeton on December 19, 2015.
