Trimble's Late Free Throws Lift Maryland Over Oklahoma State

Melo Trimble made two free throws with 9.4 seconds remaining to lift Maryland to a 71-70 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday night.

Trimble scored 13 points, and Jaylen Brantley and Damonte Dodd both added 12 points as the Terrapins (8-1) rallied from a 12-point deficit to defeat the Cowboys.

Oklahoma State's Jawun Evans missed an off-balance jumper in the closing seconds that would have given the Cowboys a victory.

It was the fourth time this year that Maryland has rallied from a deficit of at least nine points in the second half to win. The Terps also did so against Georgetown, Towson and Richmond.

Evans scored 16 points for Oklahoma State (6-2), while Jeffrey Carroll came off the bench to score 15 points and add 12 rebounds.

Oklahoma State led 60-48 with 12 minutes to play, but Maryland uncorked a 13-0 run to tighten the game for the closing minutes.
