COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Julian Reese, Hakim Hart and Jahmir Young all scored at least 20 points, the first time Maryland has had a trio of 20-plus scorers in the same game in over 20 years, as the No. 23 Terps cruised to a 95-79 win over Coppin State. 

Reese was dominant inside once again, finishing with 24 points on an extremely efficient 10-of-12 shooting. He was the difference in the first half, leading Maryland with a career-high 22 points with makes on all nine field goal attempts. Reese is now shooting an outstanding 80 percent (37–of-46) from the floor this season. He grabbed 10 rebounds for his second double-double of the season and his career. 

Not to be outdone, Hart and Young each added 22 and 21, respectively. It marked the first time three players have scored at least 20 points in the same game since Juan Dixon (23), Chris Wilcox (21) and Lonny Baxter (20) did it against Virginia on March 3, 2002 in the last ever game at Cole Field House. 

Playing against a Coppin State team coached by Juan Dixon, Maryland's all-time leading scorer and hero of the 2002 National Champion team, the Terps outscored the Eagles by 14 in the final 8:47 of the first half to take command of the game. 

The Terps dominated inside all day, besting Coppin State 54-34 in paint points.

Maryland is now a perfect 6-0 for the fifth time in the last nine years. Coppin State dropped to 3-5 overall. 

Willard's Take

"These guys play unselfishly. They like to pass the basketball. I think as they're getting more used to playing with each other, they're understanding when to get certain guys shots, when to get guys the basketball. We're still a major work in progress, but I think from the standpoint of those first five, I think they have a really good feel for what everyone can do on the court."

Breaking Down The Action

• The Terps held a 19-16 lead at the 10:50 mark. Three different Terps scored at least six points in the first 11 minutes: Hart (6), Reese (4) and Young (4). 
• After trailing 24-21, the largest deficit Maryland had faced this season, the Terps outscored Coppin State by 14 in the final 8:47 to head into halftime up 47-36 Maryland held Coppin State without a field goal for almost four minutes during that span.
• The Eagles cut it to six early in the second half, but the Terps utilized an aggressive press on defense to push the lead up to 13 at the under-12 media timeout. 
• The Terps continued to click on all cylinders offensively as the game wound down, with both Hart and Young crossing the 20-point threshold in the final five minutes. 

Last two games Maryland has had three 20-point scorers:

Today: Reese (24), Hart, (22), Young (21)
Last game at Cole: Dixon (24), Wilcox (21), Baxter (20)
