Maryland got to within 39-34 with 4 minutes remaining on Wells' layup and Logan Aronhalt's 3-pointer.

Kadji hit consecutive 3-pointers early in the game as the Hurricanes opened a 12-5 lead in the first 8:21. Miami maintained the advantage, forcing seven Terrapins turnovers in the first 10 minutes.
Maryland didn't reach double figures in points until Nick Faust's layup with 6:23 remaining in the first half reduced Miami's lead to 16-11.
Miami failed to take advantage of the Terrapins' shooting woes. The Hurricanes were held scoreless the rest of the half after McKinney Jones' 3-pointer with 4:36 remaining gave Miami a 19-11 lead.
