Jaylen Brantley was a sparkplug in Maryland basketball’s 1-point win over Oklahoma State

Maryland basketball relies on its depth to squeak out close wins, and on Saturday night, it was backup point guard Jaylen Brantley who led the bench effort in a one-point win over Oklahoma State.

The junior scored 12 points—which tied the team-high before Melo Trimble reached 13 with two monumental free throws in the final seconds—on 4-of-11 shooting from the floor and a 3-for-3 performance at the foul line. Brantley added two rebounds, an assist and a steal in his 22 minutes of action, and his team rallied to win.

“We had no chance without him tonight, and he was terrific,” Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon said after the game.
