COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Anthony Cowan Jr. scored 19 points and No. 13 Maryland beat Bryant 84-70 Sunday to end a two-game slide in the nonconference finale for both teams.

Aaron Wiggins added 15 points and Jalen Smith had 11 points and 10 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season.

The Terrapins (11-2) pulled away late to improve to 8-0 at home.

Adam Grant scored 25 points for the Bulldogs (8-5), who had won four in a row and have never beaten a ranked team.

Maryland led 36-31 at the break, but Bryant was still within six points with less than 12 minutes to play. The Terps rattled off eight consecutive points, and the Bulldogs never got within 10 the rest of the way.

The game marked the debut of Maryland's 7-foot-2 freshman Chol Marial, who was beset by injuries late in his high school career and had yet to play after undergoing surgery on stress fractures in both legs in September. Marial finished with six points and five rebounds in 14 minutes.

Maryland was playing for the first time since freshman twins Makhi and Makhel Mitchell opted to transfer Friday.
