During a nine-point run that increased the gap to 34-18, Young muscled for a three-point play.

After Sapp answered with a 3-pointer for UMBC, Maryland followed with 12 straight points as Scott and Jordan Geronimo supplied treys.

Brown stopped the run with a 3-pointer for the Retrievers, but the Terrapins scored the next 11 points in a row. In the minute of the half, Kiser made a steal and threw down a fastbreak slam.

Then, after Kiser made another steal, he swished a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from halfcourt to expand the advantage to 57-24 at the break.

Just 2:04 into the half, a layup by Reese hiked the Terrapins' lead to 62-26, matching the biggest advantage of the night.
