With a massive clash against No. 1 Purdue looming, Maryland men’s basketball first needed to take care of Coppin State, which arrived in College Park with just one win.
Maryland — even without an ill Jahmir Young — rolled to a 75-53 victory.
Here are some takeaways from the game.
Young’s absence had little effect
Several Terps needed to step up Thursday to fill the tremendous scoring void left in Young’s absence.
No player had a more enhanced role than Jahari Long, who put up a career-high 15 points in his first start of the season.
