After an uninspiring 20 minutes of basketball, Maryland turned on the jets in the second half for an 80-69 win over Hofstra.
Like Monday’s game against North Carolina A&T, Bruno Fernando was once again a beast when he was on the floor. The sophomore came off the bench and then played just seven minutes in the first half with foul trouble, but finished with 17 points and seven rebounds on 8-of-8 shooting. Maryland’s top six players finished in double figures, with Eric Ayala scoring 14, Aaron Wiggins adding 13, Darryl Morsell finishing with 12 and Anthony Cowan and Jalen Smith both chipping in 11.
