Maryland held a two-point lead at the half and Young's layup with 13:15 left gave the Terrapins a 42-38 lead, but Terrance Williams II converted back-to-back layups to tie the game, and the teams traded baskets to keep the game tied at 44-44 with just over 11 minutes to play.

Hakim Hart hit a 3 and followed a Donta Scott dunk with a layup to put Maryland in front, 51-44. Young threaded his way to the basket for a layup to push the lead to 10 points, 59-49 with 4:30 left before Hunter Dickinson hit from deep, but Dug McDaniel and Jett Howard each missed from deep and Young knocked down 5 of 6 from the line to help close out the win.
