CHARLOTTESVILLE (AP) - Mike Scott scored 25 points and No. 22 Virginia took command with a 16-0
run early in the second half and beat Maryland 71-44 on Saturday.
Malcolm Brogdon added 14 points and Sammy Zeglinski 11 for the Cavaliers
(20-6, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), who ended their first two-game losing
streak of the season.
Terrell Stoglin scored 14 points, all in the first half, and Nick Faust
had 13 for Maryland (15-11, 5-7). The Terps stayed in the game by making seven
3-pointers in the first half, but managed just 13 points after halftime as they
misfired on 19 of 24 shots.
Maryland broke a
31-all halftime tie on a jumper by James Padgett to start the second half, then
went 8:18 without a point as Virginia took control. Joe Harris hit two jumpers
and Scott scored the next seven points. When Harris capped the 16-0 burst with
another jumper, it was 47-33.
