David "Diggy" Coit scores 20 of his 28 after halftime, Maryland beats Minnesota 67-62

Maryland guard David “Diggy” Coit delivered a spectacular offensive performance on Sunday, scoring 28 points to lead the Maryland Terrapins to a 67-62 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers at the Xfinity Center in College Park. Coit’s late-game heroics were the decisive factor in the tightly contested Big Ten matchup, as he single-handedly accounted for the team's final seven points to secure the win. The victory was essential for Maryland to maintain their momentum in the conference standings against a resilient Minnesota defense that led for portions of the second half. Coit, a transfer guard who has quickly become a pivotal piece of the Terrapins' rotation, shifted the momentum of the game during a frantic final thirteen minutes of play. After the intermission, he found his rhythm from beyond the arc and driving to the rim, scoring 20 of his 28 total points in the closing stages. Before Coit took over, the game remained a defensive struggle with both teams finding it difficult to establish a consistent offensive flow, but his scoring outburst provided the spark Maryland needed to overcome a late deficit. In the final minutes, the pressure intensified as Minnesota threatened to pull off an upset on the road. However, Coit remained composed under pressure, executing a series of critical plays that neutralized the Gophers' comeback attempt. His final seven points of the game effectively iced the contest, leaving Minnesota with little time to respond. This performance highlights Coit’s growing role as a primary scoring option for Maryland, especially in high-leverage situations against conference rivals, as the Terrapins look to build their resume for the postseason.
