BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Greivis Vasquez scored 23 points and Landon Milbourne had 19 points, leading Maryland to an 80-68 victory over Indiana Tuesday night.
Maryland (5-2), playing at Indiana for the first time, ended a two-game losing streak and became the first ACC team to win in this year's Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
The Hoosiers (3-4), who have lost four of their last five, were led by freshmen Maurice Creek with 19 points and Christian Watford, who had 16 points.
Indiana rallied from a six-point deficit in the second half, finally taking the lead at 49-48 on Creek's 3-pointer.
But Indiana made only three baskets over the final 9:44, and Maryland pulled away by outscoring the Hoosiers 26-12 over the last 8:49.
Maryland has now won five straight in the conference challenge, a series the ACC has never lost.
