When Robert Carter Jr. and Diamond Stone left the program in the offseason, it was clear that Damonte Dodd would have an increased role.
After an up-and-down start to the 2016-17 season, Dodd had arguably his best performance against Oklahoma State on Saturday evening.
In Maryland’s 71-70 win, Dodd excelled in all facets of the game. The Eastern Shore native scored 12 points, grabbed eight rebounds, blocked three shots, and stayed out of foul trouble.
Dodd was a very efficient five-of-nine from the field and provided the Terps with several key baskets down the stretch. He scored 10 of his 12 points in the second half as Maryland erased a 43-35 halftime deficit.
