COLLEGE PARK, Md. — After dismantling five straight opponents, No. 23 Maryland men’s found itself in a tight game Friday afternoon against Coppin State.
Led by coach Juan Dixon, the former Maryland star who guided the program to a national championship in 2002, the Eagles traded baskets with the Terps before using a 9-0 run in the middle of the first quarter to take a three-point lead.
For Maryland to create some separation, the Terps turned to forward Julian Reese, who continued to prove sophomore slumps are nothing but superstition.
