Following a tip from forward Jairus Hamilton, Aaron Wiggins grabbed the ball in mid air and sprinted down to the other end of the court to find Darryl Morsell right outside of the paint. The senior guard stormed towards the bucket and rose up for the slam to the elation of the Terrapin bench.
It was his second big play in a row after scoring a crucial and-one layup on the previous possession, met by a loud exclamation and teammates surrounding him with high fives of excitement. Rutgers had trimmed Maryland men’s basketball’s lead to six points with 7:37 left, but the senior guard led the charge to bring the advantage back up to 10 to put his team fully back in control.
