Maryland men’s basketball was dead in the water before Donta Scott fished it out alive.
When Maryland entered the locker room at halftime, it trailed by 12 points and was subject to a smattering of boos. It looked like the Terps were destined for a crushing home loss to a struggling Michigan squad.
But when the final horn sounded, they had escaped with a 64-57 victory, powered by a game-high 22 points from Scott.
All but two of Scott’s points came in the second half, as he nailed all four of his 3-point shots. His first two attempts from distance were airballs, but he didn’t miss another triple thereafter.
