Maryland was reminded of that lesson Monday night as the No. 19 Scarlet Knights turned a one-point deficit at halftime into a lead that ballooned to as much as 14 before making a comfortable jog to the finish line in a 74-60 thumping at the Xfinity Center.
Junior guard Ron Harper Jr. led all scorers with 27 points and added five rebounds and four assists. Rutgers also got 15 points, three rebounds and three assists from senior point guard Geo Baker, 11 points and three assists from senior point guard Jacob Young, and 10 points and 16 rebounds from junior center Myles Johnson.
