Washington Beats No. 24 Maryland 75-69 For First B1G Win
January 02, 2025 | Men's Basketball
SEATTLE (AP) -- Great Osobor scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds on Thursday night, freshman Vazoumana Diallo scored a season-high 18 and Washington beat No. 24 Maryland 75-69 for the Huskies first Big Ten Conference win in front of a raucus, season-best crowd at Alaska Airlines Arena.
DJ Davis made 6-of-6 from the free-throw line - including a pair with about 10 seconds left that made it 74-69 - and added 15 points for Washington (10-4, 1-2).
First-year Huskies coach Danny Sprinkle earned his first signature win with the program, knocking off a Maryland squad that finished just outside the most recent AP Top 25. The Terrapins had 133 points, most among unranked teams and just six fewer than No. 25 Baylor.
Diallo drove to left block, spun back into the lane and dropped a pass to Osobor for a layup and-1 that gave the Huskies a 70-65 lead with 1:04 to play in the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
The Huskies held Ja'Kobi Gillespie, a 6-foot-1 transfer from Belmont, and consensus five-star freshman Derik Queen to a combined five points on 1-of-13 shooting with no rebounds, eight fouls and five turnovers.
Washington controlled the tempo, playing at a deliberate pace that limited the high-octane offense of the Terrapins. Maryland, which went in averaging 87.2 points per game (No. 12 nationally), was held below 74 points for the first time this season.
Washington hosts 22nd-ranked Illinois on Sunday. Limited tickets remain.
