Maryland improved to 9-1 on the season when winning the battle of the glass.

Stoglin Reaches Top 20: Sophomore guard Terrell Stoglin cracked the top 20 on Maryland's 3-pointers made list by knocking down two against Wake Forest. Stoglin shot just 6 of 18 from the field, but recorded his 11th 20-point game of the year by also knocking down 6 of 8 free throws.

Pankey Rebounds: Ashton Pankey had a strong start for the Terps, grabbing five rebounds (four offensive) in the game's first seven minutes. That set the tone for a nine-point, seven-rebound effort in just 12 minutes in the first half. Pankey finished with nine points and nine boards, including a career-high six offensive rebounds.

First-Half Notes: Maryland went on two big runs to stretch its lead to 40-24 at the half ... trailing 9-6 early on, the Terps went on a 12-2 run over 3:51 to take an 18-11 lead ... then, leading 22-15 with just over 7:00, they went on a 14-4 run to increase the lead to 36-19 with 3:14 left in the half ...
