The 1-2 punch of Augustus and Fowles proved too much for Maryland. Seimone had 23; Sylvia had 18 and 15. The Terps led halfway through the second half, but Fowles led a big run that gave the Tigers the win.

"Over the last 10 minutes of the game we did not talk strategy. It was all about heart, defensive rebounds and pushing the basketball." said coach Chatman.
