Maryland men’s basketball was uncharacteristically sluggish early against Saint Francis (PA) Tuesday night, trailing by four with 10:32 left in the first half. Then its starting trio of guards caught fire.
Selton Miguel, Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Rodney Rice went a combined 10-of-14 from the field and 6-of-9 from 3-point range in the first half’s final 10 minutes — the rest of the team took just four shots in that stretch. The Terps ran to a 26-point halftime lead and a 111-57 win over the Red Flash at Xfinity Center.
Miguel also converted three of Maryland’s first four buckets of the second half, finishing with a team-high 24 points in 24 minutes on 10-of-13 shooting.
