MGM Grand Garden Arena
COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Coming off a late night 74-67 win over UNLV, the Terps return to action on Tuesday night as they take on No. 12 Gonzaga in day two of the Players Era Championship Tournament in Las Vegas. The Zagas defeated No. 8 Alabama, 95-85, on Monday night.
The game will tip off at 9:30 PM ET (6:30 PM PT) and will be televised on truTV. Fans can also listen to the game on the Maryland Sports Radio Network with Josh Maurer and Chris Knoche calling the action.
Monday's game against UNLV tipped around 9:20 PM PT tip - after midnight for the East Coast crowd and technically Tuesday morning. Tuesday's game against Gonzaga will tip at 6:30 PM PT (9:30 PM ET) nearly 21 hours following the win over UNLV. So not a doubleheader by local time zones, but it would be one by East Coast time.
The last time an NCAA Division I team played twice on the same day was March 15, 2008 in the SEC Tournament as Georgia won both a quarterfinal and semifinal game due to a tornado damaging the Georgia Dome. Since 1980-81, that is the only recorded time a team has played twice on the same day.
For Maryland, the only time listed as the Terps playing on the same day was Feb. 22, 1930 which featured wins over Johns Hopkins and VMI.
The Terps will learn who they will play next following the conclusion of Tuesday night's action.
Diggy, Diggy, Diggy Can't You See...
- Diggy Coit had himself a night in the win over Mount St. Mary's. The graduate guard scored 41 points to set a new XFINITY Center single-game scoring record. The previous XFINITY Center record was 39 by Diamond Stone in 2015 for Maryland and 39 by Jamison Battle of Minnesota in 2022.
- Coit scored 16 of Maryland's final 19 points in the last 6:27 of the second half including the game-tying three pointer to force overtime.
- Overall, Coit finished with a ridiculous stat line: 11-of-17 from the floor, 8-of-10 beyond the arc, and 11-of-11 at the free throw line. Dating back to 2004, Coit is just one of 14 players to shoot 64 percent or better from the floor with 8-or-more threes and 11-or-more made free throws.
- Diggy Coit's 1,327 career points are 37th among active NCAA players – just behind former Terp Ja'Kobi Gillespie. Both have played in 98 career games.
- Coit has the fourth-most career points among active players who have not played in 100 career games.
- Among the top 14 players under 6-0 on the scoring list, the 5-foot-11 Coit has the fifth-most career points.
