The Maryland men's basketball team crushed Northwestern on Saturday night, marching into Evanston's Welsh-Ryan Arena and cruising to a 72-59 win in front of a raucous purple crowd.
Guards Rasheed Sulaimon and Melo Trimble were outstanding for the No. 4 Terrapins. Sulaimon had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while Trimble was masterful: 24 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds . Diamond Stone followed up his 39-point outing against Penn State last Wednesday with 10 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting, and Maryland (13-1, 2-0 Big Ten) stymied Northwestern (13-2, 1-1) from the beginning.
The Terps shot 47 percent to Northwestern's 37 percent from the field.
