No. 20 Maryland men’s basketball slow starts finally came back to bite it.
For the third straight game, the Terps trailed heading into halftime, this time against the George Mason Patriots. The Patriots led 32-31 after the first 20 minutes, then it went on a huge run early in the second half.
George Mason scored seven of the first 10 points of the half, then it ripped Maryland’s defense apart with a 9-0 run to put it up for good. Maryland never recovered from trailing at the break and backed by its concession of nine straight points in the second half, George Mason cliched the upset win in College Park.
