LAS VEGAS – Maryland trailed for much of the game, grew frustrated by its miscues and needed to make key plays down the stretch under pressure.
Just what the No. 6 Terrapins were craving after a series of routs.
Brionna Jones had 20 points and 20 rebounds and Maryland pulled away late to beat the Washington State women 79-69 on Saturday at the South Point Thanksgiving Shootout.
Maryland (6-0) entered having won each game by at least 32 points, but the fired-up Cougars (4-2) led early in the fourth quarter.
Borislava Hristova scored 25 points on 11-of-19 shooting for WSU.
