Against No. 9 West Virginia at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Maryland held on for the 67-65 victory to advance to the second round in the South Region.
The eighth-seeded Terps are familiar with navigating deficits, but this time, facing elimination, they also needed to close. And that’s where this team has struggled at times this season, especially away from Xfinity Center. But against No. 9 West Virginia at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Maryland held on for theto advance to the second round in the South Region — a significant accomplishment for first-year Maryland head coach Kevin Willard.
Julian Reese, the sophomore forward who has improved significantly as this season has progressed, turned into a force for the Terps in the second half. He scored 13 of his 17 points after the break, and he added nine rebounds. Reese missed three free throws in the final four minutes, and those loomed large until Young’s poise helped the Terps survive.
West Virginia surged ahead early in the second half, starting when Johnson, a fifth-year guard, scored 10 straight points on three possessions. Johnson hit three shots, drew a foul on each and made the ensuing free throws. Sophomore guard Seth Wilson, who didn’t play at all in the first half, then knocked down a three-pointer, and Johnson added another shot from deep to give the Mountaineers a 16-0 run and a nine-point lead with about 15 minutes remaining.
