Darius Adams scores 18, Isaiah Watts 17 to help Maryland beat Old Dominion 73-58
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- — Darius Adams scored 18 points and Isaiah Watts made his first start for Maryland and finished with 17, including a season-high four 3-pointers, to help the Terrapins beat Old Dominion 73-58 on Sunday night to snap a three-game skid.
Solomon Washington, who missed the first eight games due to injury, had his first double-double of the season with a season-high 11 points and 10 rebounds for Maryland (7-6). Andre Mills also scored 11 points.
Mills opened the scoring with a 3-pointer that sparked a 17-0 run and Maryland never trailed. The Monarchs went 0 for 7 from the field and committed three turnovers before Drew McKenna made a jumper nearly six minutes into the game.
Watts, a 6-foot-3 Washington State transfer, hit three 3s in the final two minutes of the first half and the Terrapins led 45-18 at the intermission.
Ketron Shaw scored 17 of his 19 points in the second half and Zacch Wiggins finished with 14 for Old Dominion (4-10). The Monarchs have lost back-to-back games and seven of their last eight.
Shaw and Jordan Battle, ODU's top-two scorers going into the game at 16.0 and 14.2 per game, respectively, combined for two points on 1-of-8 shooting in the first half. Battle finished 0 for 3 from the field and scored one point.
Pharrel Payne (knee) missed his second consecutive game for the Terrapins. The Texas A&M transfer leads Maryland in scoring (17.4 per game), rebounding (7.2), field-goal percentage (.624), and total blocks (11). Payne left in the closing minutes of a 101-83 loss to No. 2 Michigan on Dec. 13. The 6-foot-9 senior was carried off on a stretcher and missed the next game after a scary fall following a dunk in Maryland's 89-82 win at Marquette on Nov. 15.
Old Dominion hosts Appalachian State on New Year's Eve.
Maryland will resume Big Ten Conference play when Oregon visits on Friday.
