Stone scores 39, leads No. 4 Maryland past Penn State, 70-64
Instead, Stone carried the Terps back with a combination of power drives, dunks and plenty of free throws. Stone’s 39 points set a program record for a freshman and his 19 free throws also set a Maryland record. Mike Tobey scored 16 points and pulled down seven rebounds off of the bench, while Malcolm Brogdon scored 12 points.

Curtis Loik (18 points) and Kenny Brooks (18) are among the top 50 in the nation in scoring, averaging one point per game, and Penn State has gotten solid goaltending so far out of the duo made up of Eamon McAdam and Matthew Skoff. The Terps opened up the year to a little bit of a slow start with close wins at home against their local rival in the Georgetown Hoyas and needed a late second half rally to beat the Rider Broncs in a game in which the Terps were held to their lowest point total of season at just 65 points.
Maryland was able to overcome a first half when it shot a dismal 6-for-24 from the field and was outrebounded 19-13. Penn State then went on a run to take a 10-point lead with less than eight minutes left.
However, then Maryland woke up and closed the game by outscoring Penn State 25-12. The Terps average 26 defensive rebounds a game which ranks them tied as the 166 best team in the country in that department. You get over it walking back to the huddle and it’s on to the next rep. The Terrapins, though, continued to struggle with their shooting and Penn State took advantage. Stone was a force in the second half, scoring at will in the paint with plenty of trips to the free-throw line.
The amusing facet of Stone turning on his faucet is Terps coach Mark Turgeron, per usual, did not start the touted five-star big man. Meaning what we saw Wednesday night in College Park was last seen 10 seasons ago. We don’t get the recognition, but we know we play a decent role in it.
Deonte Burton scored 17 points for the Cyclones (11-1). He nailed the free throw to complete the three-point play and a personal 7-0 run.
If the loss to Robert Morris is just a bump in the road and not something larger, Penn State could use that schedule to get some momentum going and possibly build a lead over Minnesota and MI.
Away from the field, I’m looking forward to going to Disney and Hollywood Studios and the Magic vs. Nets game.
After posting up successfully twice and getting the benefit of a goaltending call on Jack for sticking his hand through the underside of the hoop to make it 58-49, Stone made the game’s pivotal play.

Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said the outcome was in doubt until Murphy, a freshman averaging 10.8 points and 8.8 rebounds, got his fourth foul with 13:47 left in the game and the Gophers down 45-42. Trimble hit the first at 5:13 to bring Maryland within 60-55.
