ANNAPOLIS — Maryland's shots were clanging off the rim, and suddenly the Terrapins found themselves in a tie game with Navy.
Time to crank up the defense.
Maryland limited the Midshipmen to six baskets over the final 14 1/2 minutes and pulled away to a 78-57 victory Friday night.
Anthony Cowan scored 24 points and Darryl Morsell added 15 for the Terrapins, who won despite never really getting into a solid groove offensively.
“I was proud of my guys tonight. We really played well the last 14 minutes or so,” coach Mark Turgeon said.
