No. 5 Maryland men’s basketball uses late run to seal 80-73 victory over Harvard

ORLANDO, Fla. — With Maryland narrowly ahead 61-59 with 6:12 to play, Jalen Smith came up to the left wing to set a screen for Aaron Wiggins. Wiggins drove right before he dumped the ball off to a wide-open Smith rolling to the basket.

The 6’10 big man hauled in the pass and jumped as high as he could, using two hands to slam a dunk over 6’8 forward Noah Kirkwood and send the crowd into a frenzy. Less than 90 seconds later, Wiggins had his own ferocious dunk on a putback play, extending Maryland’s lead to 65-59 with under five minutes to play.
