UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Donta Scott scored 24 points, all five Maryland starters reached double figures in scoring, and the Terrapins defeated Miami 88-70 on Sunday in the championship game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off.
Maryland remains undefeated in Kevin Willard’s first season as coach, largely due to an explosive first half in which Scott had 17 points, six rebounds and three assists and the Terrapins drained seven 3-pointers to lead 47-34 at the break. The Terps shot 63 percent and dominated the boards with a 24-8 rebounding advantage.
Maryland (5-0) extended its lead to 18 points early in the second half and still led by 18 with about 10 minutes to go.
