COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Point guard Jahmir Young had 30 points and 11 rebounds to lead Maryland men’s basketball to an 80-73 win over No. 24 Ohio State at the Xfinity Center on Sunday afternoon.
In what has been a month of offensive futility for Maryland, Young showed he could be the answer to their scoring woes. He recorded the first 30-point, 10-rebound game by a Terps guard since Greivis Vasquez had a triple-double with 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against North Carolina on Feb. 21, 2009. Young’s points total tied a career-high and the double-double the seventh of his career.The victory ends the Terps’ five-game losing streak to Power Five opponents.
Trailing by five points at halftime, Maryland’s offense came to life right after the break as it went on a 14-0 run over the first six minutes. Senior forward Donta Scott and guard Don Carey converted back-to-back 3-pointers before Young cut to the basket for a contested layup that gave Maryland a 48-39 advantage.
