Illinois Sports: Illini Crumble at No. 14 Maryland

Herald & Review: Illini crumble at No. 14 Maryland

Melo Trimble returned to form, the seniors excelled in their home finale and No. 14 Maryland played its best game in weeks.

“Just a feel-good night,” coach Mark Turgeon said after the Terrapins hammered Illinois 81-55 on Thursday. “It’s fun to have some like that every now and then.”

Trimble and Jake Layman scored 18 points each for the Terrapins, who never trailed. Maryland (24-6, 12-5 Big Ten) had lost three of four since climbing to No.
