After a combined 19 days since their last games — seven for Maryland men’s basketball and 12 for Maryland-Eastern Shore — both teams showed signs of rust.
But despite some uneven stretches, the Terps held firm on their home court. Returning to action after the holiday break, Maryland rode a dominant final 10 minutes to secure an 81-66 victory over the Hawks.
The Terps got off to a strong start, jumping out to a 7-2 lead in the first four minutes. Selton Miguel’s aggressive play and effective work in the paint fueled the early run. But not everything went smoothly.
