Maryland took more than four minutes to score its first points but led by as much as eight in the first half before taking a 33-26 lead into the break.

Boston College warmed up in the second half, scoring eight straight points to take a 43-38 advantage. Maryland – which was 17-1 this season when holding a lead with five minutes remaining – fell behind for good at 51-50 on two free throws by Jackson with 5:04 left, sparking a 12-0 run.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Maryland point guard Pe’Shon Howard returned following a one-game suspension for violating team rules and finished with five points and three assists. … Aronhalt played the last three seasons at Albany, where he graduated with a degree in kinesiology. … Boston College shot 21-of-22 from the foul line, the third time in four games it hit at least 85 percent of its free throws.
