As the first half’s final seconds ticked off the clock, Maryland’s Jamie Kaiser Jr. stole the ball near midcourt, quickly dribbled to get a bit closer to the basket and released a shot from the red “M” logo at Xfinity Center an instant before the buzzer. After the ball swished through the net, Kaiser raised his arms triumphantly.
It was that kind of Tuesday night for the Terrapins during a 92-68 win over Maryland Baltimore County, a victory that ended a three-game slide that matched the longest since Coach Kevin Willard took over last season. The Terps (2-3) also avoided starting 1-4 for the first time since 1968-69.
