Maryland men’s basketball outlasts Penn State in overtime, 81-75

With the shot clock ticking down, less than 40 seconds remaining in overtime and the ball still stuck at the top of the 3-point arc, Maryland men’s basketball put the ball in the hands of its confident leader: graduate guard Jahmir Young.

But instead of taking the shot himself, Young used his elite court vision and slotted a pinpoint pass between two defenders into the waiting hands of a cutting DeShawn Harris-Smith. The freshman rose up and finished through contact, while being fouled, to give Maryland a four-point lead and seal a dramatic 81-75 victory in College Park.
