BALTIM0RE — Maryland basketball bounced back from a close loss Thursday with a 55-41 win over Loyola-Chicago in the Charm City Classic on Saturday afternoon.
While this was far from an offensive showcase, the Terps had more than enough to support their defense. Maryland had a meager nine points after 13 minutes of play, but warmed up to take a 24-20 lead into halftime. The Terps gained some separation in the second half, leading by as many as 17 before cruising to a 14-point win.
Anthony Cowan Jr. poured in a game-high 17 points, going 6-of-12 and 3-of-8 from deep to offset five turnovers.
