Much More tonight on Koons Ford Terp Talk at 6PM
– Melo Trimble scored 22 points, including two free throws with 7.6 seconds left, and Maryland made up a nine-point deficit in the closing minutes to beat Georgetown 76-75 Tuesday night at Verizon Center.
Georgetown led 65-56 with 3:52 remaining before the Terrapins used a game-ending 20-10 run to win this duel between neighboring rivals.
Maryland (2-0) limited the Hoyas (1-1) to 16 field goals but was outscored 37-17 at the foul line. The Terps won despite going 7 for 27 from beyond the arc and being whistled for 32 fouls.
It was 75-72 when Trimble scored on a drive to get Maryland within a point. A turnover by the Hoyas followed, and Trimble was fouled while receiving the long inbound pass.
After he made both foul shots, freshman Kevin Huerter blocked a driving shot by Jagan Mosely just before the final buzzer.
freddy from boca
terrific win. very exciting game.
imo as we move on jackson will become the number one option. he is the best player on the team. huerter needs more touches and will start scoring more as he gains experience and confidence. overall the 3 freshman have more upside than melo did as a freshman. they are all better overall players. better athleticism, better basketball skills.
bender is the number one big man. very skilled. good mobility, good hustle
