Riding a three-game conference losing streak and five-game losing spell against power conference opponents, Maryland men’s basketball badly needed a win to steer itself back in the right direction.
When his team needed it most, graduate guard Jahmir Young stepped up and provided a much-needed boost, putting together a dominant 30-point, 11-rebound performance to lead the Terps (11-5, 2-3 Big Ten) to a 80-73 home victory over No. 24 Ohio State (10-5, 2-2) Sunday afternoon.
All five of Maryland’s starters — Young, Don Carey, Hakim Hart, Donta Scott and Julian Reese — scored at least 10 points, making up for just six bench points.
