Michal Cekovsky and Kevin Huerter had 10 points apiece for Maryland (12-1).The Terrapins were playing without senior forward Damonte Dodd (knee) and redshirt sophomore guard Dion Wiley (left wrist sprain), forcing Turgeon to start three freshmen.We werent very good early in the game, Turgeon said. I thought we got a little bit better as the game went on. I thought we played an excellent second half. Its hard this time of year coming off finals. I am really proud of the team to be 12-1, playing as many young guys. Weve had one game all year where weve had the whole team healthy.Jon Davis led Charlotte (6-5) with 28 points, tying his career high, while Andrien White scored 17.

That was the spark that the Terrapins needed after committing 13 turnovers in the opening half.Huerter made two quick layups, Cekovsky had a dunk and Maryland had a 42-39 lead in the opening minutes of the second half.Basketball in itself is a game of runs, Davis said. We have to come out in the second half with that same fire. And when (teams) do go on those types of runs, and its going to happen, we have to retaliate better.Maryland stayed in sync and took advantage of some poor shooting by the 49ers. Huerter made a pair of 3-pointers, Jaylen Brantley added another, and the Terrapins had a 56-49 lead midway through the half.We felt good going in halftime, but give Maryland credit, they played a terrific second half, Charlotte coach Mark Price said.

It was a good challenge for us.Maryland then pulled away as it continued to stay hot from the field. Brantley and Trimble hit two more 3-pointers that extended the margin to 83-64 with just under four minutes left.Weve been through this all year, having to dig down, Trimble said.
