Forward Justin Jackson didn’t take over the game, as he had done for a stretch of the second half in wins over Georgetown and Towson.
Point guard Anthony Cowan didn’t take a single 3-point shot, trying to jumpstart his offensive game, as he had done against both the Hoyas and Division III St. Mary’s.
Shooting guard Kevin Huerter didn’t suddenly try to start scoring, as he done in high school, rather than continue to be the stat-stuffing facilitator and defender he had been through his first four college games.
And Maryland coach Mark Turgeon couldn’t have been happier that this trio of starters – believed to be the first three freshmen to start together in program history – didn’t suddenly get selfish.
