The biggest cheers during the Maryland men’s basketball game Tuesday night went to new Terps football coach Michael Locksley, who was introduced at halftime, and to a video showing the men’s soccer team’s celebration of its NCAA championship Sunday night in California.
That’s not to say the men’s basketball team didn’t get some ovations of its own, mostly two freshmen with the same last name but completely different games, during Maryland’s 94-71 victory over Loyola Maryland.
Coming off what turned out to be a disappointing homecoming Saturday in Baltimore, when he scored just one point against Loyola Chicago and spent most of the afternoon in foul trouble, forward Jalen Smith (Mount Saint Joseph) finished with a career-high 20 points.
