It wasn’t necessarily pretty by any means, but No. 21 Maryland men’s basketball is 2-0 after defeating George Washington on Thursday night in College Park. Maryland edged out the 71-64 win because of a better second-half performance and the Terps will look to make it three straight wins on Saturday afternoon.
Junior center Qudus Wahab excelled on Thursday night, recording his first double-double in a Maryland uniform. He tallied 18 points and added 15 rebounds in the win. Through two games, the transfer from Georgetown is averaging 17.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.
