During its three-game losing spell, Maryland men’s basketball couldn’t buy a bucket. On Tuesday against UMBC, even its half-court shots were falling.
Jamie Kaiser Jr.’s 47-foot heave that hit nothing but nylon as the first half ended was emblematic of the Terps’ success in their 92-68 win over UMBC, without a doubt their most impressive performance of the young season.
Although Kaiser captured the highlight of the night with his first-half buzzer-beater, he was far from the only Maryland player to put forth an impressive offensive showcase. Jahmir Young led all players with 20 points, with Donta Scott (14 points) and Julian Reese (15) following close behind.
