Jones' 20-20 helps No. 6 Maryland past Washington State

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Brionna Jones had 20 points and a career-high 20 rebounds and No. 6 Maryland struggled before pulling away late in the fourth quarter to beat Washington State 79-69 on Saturday.

Maryland (6-0) entered having won each game by at least 32 points. The Terrapins' largest deficit was 2-0 and it had trailed for less than 2 minutes total in five games.

This was different. The Cougars led by six in the first half and for much of the third quarter. Tied at 61, Jones hit two free throws and Destiny Slocum added a 3-pointer and two free throws in a 10-2 run to put Maryland ahead 71-63 with 1:39 left at the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout.
