The Maryland men’s basketball team found itself in a dogfight on Tuesday.
The Terrapins persevered and were able to outlast Northwestern 62-56 in overtime. Guard Melo Trimble had a terrific game as he scored 18 points (8-of-18) while dishing out six assists.
Forward Robert Carter added 10 points and a season-high 14 rebounds against the Wildcats.
“All night, we settled for jump shots,” coach Mark Turgeon said. “In overtime, Melo (Trimble) didn’t settle. He drove and got to the rim. He got baskets for Robert and Diamond (Stone). I thought his defense on McIntosh was great.
