Maryland sophomore forward Pavlo Dziuba is a rarely used bench player for the Terrapins. But when he entered the Maryland-Minnesota men's basketball game on Wednesday night in the final 41 seconds of regulation, the crowd immediately erupted in support.
The 19-year-old is from Kyiv, Ukraine. The crowd’s cheers in the Xfinity Center were in support of Dziuba and his home country amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.
