COLLEGE PARK — Rasheed Sulaimon hit a 3-pointer with 1:18 left to break a tie, and No. 3 Maryland got 24 points from Melo Trimble in a rousing 75-71 victory over local rival Georgetown on Tuesday night.
Maryland (2-0) was stretched to the finish against Georgetown, which led by seven points in the second half before wilting. The Hoyas looked much sharper than in their season-opening, double-overtime loss to Radford but fell to 0-2 for the first time since the 1998-99 season.
Sulaimon made his only basket of the second half with the score tied at 68-68 to put the Terrapins ahead to stay.
