Stoglin's 27 lead Maryland to 64-62 victory

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Terrell Stoglin scored 27 points and helped
Maryland hold off a late Clemson rally in a 64-62 victory on
Tuesday night.



The Terrapins (14-9, 4-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) looked like
they were in control, ahead 53-39 with 7:55 to go. That's when
the Tigers (11-12, 3-6) went on a 19-6 run to cut the lead to a
point on Devin Booker's two foul shots.



But Alex Len made a bucket and Stoglin followed with two foul
shots to put Maryland out front 63-59.



Clemson was down 64-62 with 1.7 seconds left, but Andre Young's
desperation halfcourt heave bounced off the rim and the Terps
broke their two-game losing streak with their first ACC road win
this season.



Young led the Tigers with 15 points and made four 3-pointers.



Stoglin, the ACC's leading scorer, ended 9 of 11 shooting with
four 3-pointers. It was the eighth time in nine league games
Stoglin's scored 20 or more points.



Sean Mosley added 16 points.



Young had the opportunity to tie the game with Clemson trailing
61-58, but made only 1 of 3 free throws after getting fouled
behind the arc.



The Tigers were still in it when Milton Jennings hit his third
3-pointer of the second half with 2.8 seconds to go to make it
63-62. Mosley, though, made a foul shot and Young's long-range
attempt was off the mark.



Booker and Jennings had 14 points apiece.



Clemson trailed Virginia Tech by 14 points in the final four
minutes before rallying in a 67-65 loss this past Saturday. The
Tigers have lost three in a row.



Maryland and Clemson were each looking to move up in the ACC
after going 3-5 halfway through the league season.



The Tigers expected a boost when Jennings, the 6-foot-9 starting
forward, returned after missing the past two defeats because of
academic suspension. Little, though, - not even coach Brad
Brownell bobblehead night - seemed to help Clemson's shooting
touch in the first half of this one.



The Tigers were a dreadful 6 of 23 shooting at one point and
needed to make four of their final eight shots simply to get
above 30 percent. Clemson missed all seven of its 3-point
attempts and Young, their leading scorer, was 1 of 5 for 2
points in the first 20 minutes.



Plus, Clemson had no answer for Stoglin, the ACC's leading
scorer at 21.7 points a game. Maryland's sophomore guard freely
drove the lane for baskets and showed his range with an
on-target floater for a 3 as the shot clock was winding down.



That 3-pointer with 4:58 left in the half broke an 18-all tie.
Stoglin followed with a midcourt steal and breakaway layup.
Mosley added a 3-pointer and the Terps took a 26-22 lead into
the break.



Clemson struggled to score in every way. The team was just 2 of
6 on free throws, including twice missing attempts to complete
three-point plays.
