COLLEGE PARK, MD — The Maryland Terrapins fell to in-state foe Morgan State on Wednesday night, 66-65. The game featured strong performances from Morgan State’s Reggie Holmes (25 points) and Maryland senior Dave Neal (18 points). Morgan State Head Coach Todd Bozeman called the win “significant” for his team, not only because it was “against an ACC school,” but also because “it is in-state.” The first half was a fairly equal performance for both teams, ending with a Maryland lead at 36-33. The second half, however, featured gigantic runs from both teams: 18-2 from the Terps, followed closely by 21-5 from Morgan State, leading to the final score of 66-65.The Terps suffered particularly in two parts of their game: turnovers and three point shooting. Maryland committed 21 turnovers and only hit 1 of 14 three point shots. While they shot well from the free throw line (12-15), Maryland Head Coach Gary Williams said that his team "didn’t take advantage of what [they]’re really good at,” because he wanted to see more free throw opportunities. Maryland star Greivis Vasquez did continue his hot hand at the free throw line, extending his streak of consecutive made shots to 29.
The announced crowd at the Comcast Center was 15,138. The stands appeared quite empty, and much to the chagrin of the Maryland faithful; there was a large (and loud) contingent of fans rooting on the Bears.
