Rounding out Michigan’s 84-73 win was Franz Wagner who scored 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting to go with three steals

For Maryland, Donta Scott poured in 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting from the floor as the Terps shot an impressive 13-for-22 from three-point range. Unfortunately, Maryland was simply unable to keep up in the second half as the Wolverines shot even better at 58.8% from the floor for the game.
