A pair of big early runs by Maryland proved to be too much for University of New Mexico men's basketball team to overcome Saturday afternoon, as the Lobos lose again at the Emerald Coast Classic.

Maryland (6-1) jumped all over New Mexico on Saturday in the tournament's consolation game. The Terrapins scored the first eight points of the game and then responded with a 19-0 run after UNM was finally able to put its first points on the scoreboard.

The shaky start for the Lobos put them in a 27-3 hole to start the game—a deficit that seemed insurmountable as the Terrapins cruised to an 80-65 victory.
