So far, so good for the Terrapins.
The No. 3 Maryland men's basketball team started its highly anticipated 2015-16 season with an 80-56 win against Mount St. Mary's at Xfinity Center on Friday night. The Mountaineers did a commendable job to keep the game competitive into the second half before Maryland pulled away in front of a an announced 17,950-spectator sellout.
As ever, Jake Layman and Melo Trimble paved the way for the Terrapins with 16 and 14 points, respectively, on a combined 13-of-21 shooting. In their official Maryland debuts, fellow starters Rasheed Sulaimon (5 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds), Diamond Stone (10 points, 7 boards) and Robert Carter (10 and 8) each showed encouraging signs.
