What a tough break for the Maryland Terrapins Sunday in Tallahassee. Springing up and down the court it was hard-nosed battle. Florida State pulled out the overtime win, however outplaying Maryland in the waning minutes. The 76-73 final pushed up the confidence level for the Seminoles as they progressed to a 15-3 record overall. Most of their scoring came from guard Toney Douglas who drilled home 25 points along with 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Only one other player for Florida State hit double figures in scoring.
Junior Landon Milbourne was the leading scorer for the Terps with 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field. With low field goal shooting percentages on both sides this was a duel mainly determined by defense. Maryland out rebounded their opponent on the road 38-35 yet in OT failed to stop Douglas who had 7 points in the extended frame. Usually Maryland is good at shutting off the inside. Since this game was in Florida the Terps found themselves at a disadvantage of course. They drop to 12-5 overall and 1-2 in the ACC. Their next games will come against UVA, Duke, and Boston College. At the rate they're going it's a good possibility they'll hang near the top of the conference and bid for a tournament call this year.
