Maryland men’s was looking for a tune-up game Tuesday night against Canisius, with Villanova coming up on the schedule and fresh off a gritty loss to No. 15 Marquette.
But it’s an understatement to call the Terps 108-37 demolition over the Golden Griffins a tune up. It was the most points Maryland has scored in a game since November 2005, and the second-largest margin of victory in program history.
Canisius was 0-5 entering the contest. It was outsized, outmatched and outclassed for all 40 minutes. Even in the second half, when Maryland’s starters barely played, the Golden Griffins looked like they didn’t belong on the same court as Maryland.
