College Park, Md.— Michigan rained all over Maryland’s parade in the first half and never looked back.
The Wolverines used a 3-point barrage, another sound defensive effort and a career day from senior guard Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman to dismantle the Terrapins, 85-61, in the regular-season finale Saturday at Xfinity Center.
Abdur-Rahkman scored a career-high 28 points with eight rebounds and seven assists to lead the charge for No. 17 Michigan (24-7, 13-5 Big Ten), which tied a season-high with 15 made 3-pointers and has won five straight heading into the postseason.
Abdur-Rahkman, who was wearing rec specs after getting poked in the eye at shootaround prior to Wednesday’s game at Penn State, bested his previous career high of 26 points set in the loss at Purdue on Jan.
