Sophomore guard Hakim Hart’s corner 3-point attempt in the second half against La Salle clanked off the side of the rim, but his teammate Donta Scott was right there to clean it up.
The sophomore from Philadelphia soared over a La Salle defender for a one-handed put-back dunk, drawing a raucous response from his teammates on the bench. It was a stark contrast from a Maryland team that had lacked energy in the previous two games.
Five Terps scored in double figures, led by junior guard Eric Ayala’s career-high 23, as the Maryland men’s basketball team beat La Salle, 84-71, at Xfinity Center Tuesday night, ending a two-game losing streak.
