No. 25 Maryland breezes past New Hampshire, 82-55

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Landon Milbourne scored a career-high 24 points, and No. 25 Maryland cruised past New Hampshire 82-55 Friday night in the Terrapins’ final tuneup for the Maui Invitational.

Sophomore guard Sean Mosley had 13 points and a career-best 10 assists for his first career double-double, and Eric Hayes scored 15 for Maryland (3-0). After three straight blowouts at home, the Terrapins will head to Hawaii to play three games in three days, beginning Tuesday.

Led by Milbourne, a senior forward, Maryland never trailed against New Hampshire (1-1). The Terrapins scored the first nine points, led by 18 at halftime and turned the game into a blowout with a 16-0 run that made it 67-32 with 10:45 left.

Colbey Santos led the Wildcats with 14 points. New Hampshire finished with 21 turnovers compared to 18 baskets.

The Terrapins led 42-25 early in the second half before Milbourne scored five straight points and Greivis Vasquez added a jumper in the lane to boost the margin to 24.

Minutes later, freshman Jordan Williams made a layup to spark Maryland’s 16-point spree.

The Terrapins got 13 points from Milbourne, forced 13 turnovers and limited the Wildcats to 26 percent shooting in taking a 40-22 halftime lead.

New Hampshire had five turnovers and three missed shots in its opening eight possessions while Hayes and Milbourne teamed to score the game’s first nine points. It was 24-12 before Vasquez scored on a drive, Mosley converted a three-point play and Hayes sank a 3-pointer to put the Terps up by 20.

Maryland played without forward Dino Gregory, who has been suspended until Dec. 12 for violating team policy, and center Steve Goins, who served a one-day suspension for not adhering to the class attendance policy.
