Maryland men’s basketball was in danger after Mount St. Mary’s had reclaimed a lead in the second half Sunday, but a quick three and dunk in quick succession changed things. Eric Ayala then received a pass from Donta Scott near the top of the key, surveyed his options and let a triple fly as part of a quick 10-0 Maryland run that forced the Mountaineers to call a timeout.
The Terps ultimately expanded that to a 21-point run en route to a 79-61 win over the Mountaineers after allowing the opponent to stay within striking distance through most of the contest.
