PISCATAWAY, N.J. — It started as a rock fight and ended up a blowout.
The Maryland men’s basketball team overcame a slow start to rout Rutgers, 63-46, in a Sunday afternoon matchup of two of the Big Ten’s best defenses. The Terps, who snapped a two-game skid, set a season best in points allowed as Rutgers shot 37 percent.
Julian Reese led four Terps in double figures with a game-high 20 points. Jordan Geronimo, a Newark native, added 11 points and a game-high 11 rebounds with roughly a dozen friends and family members in attendance.
“I thought we did a really good job knowing our personnel, who we’re guarding, helping our teammates out,” Geronimo said.
