Maryland men’s basketball’s brilliant first-half performance against UCLA was erased by a dreadful showing in the latter 20 minutes, but Jahmir Young refused to let the game slip away. He scored 12 of Maryland’s final 19 points as the Terps escaped Pauley Pavilion with a 69-60 victory on Friday night.
The Terps (8-4) will go as far as Young takes them, which was made crystal-clear in the victory. He finished with a career-high 37 points — scoring over half of the team’s points in both halves.
Maryland came out of the gates hot, bolting out to an eight-point advantage, which eventually bloomed to 13 as Young refused to miss.
