Terps push win streak to four, move into first in ACC
By Bud L. Ellis
Since losing to Wake Forest by two points in overtime Jan. 12, the Maryland Terrapins have played like a team with a chip on its shoulder.
That attitude was on display again Tuesday night, as the Terps surged into first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Landon Milbourne and Greivis Vasquez each scored 16 points, and the Terps won their fourth in a row, blasting Miami 81-59. The win pushes Maryland to 14-5 overall and 4-1 in the ACC, good enough to nudge the Terps by Virginia and into the ACC’s top spot.
During their four-game winning streak, Maryland has won by an average of 28 points per game. Eric Hayes and Sean Mosley each added 10 points as the Terps shot 50 percent from the floor. Defensively, Maryland held the Hurricanes to just 38 percent shooting.
The Terps are off the next three days before traveling to Clemson for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff on Sunday.
