On an afternoon where Maryland basketball welcomed back some of its program legends to celebrate 100 seasons, the current team couldn’t deliver a memorable performance of its own. After going back and forth with No. 9 Michigan for much of the afternoon, the Wolverines separated late for a 69-62 win.
All five of Maryland’s starters scored in double figures, and so did Michigan’s. The No. 17 Terps struggled to contain Ignas Brazdeikis, who scored 21 points, much to the dismay of a taunting crowd. Maryland couldn’t stop Zavier Simpson either, as he chipped in 12 points on 6-for-7 shooting and 10 assists, including four hook shots.
