COLLEGE PARK, MD – After averaging 36.5 points, including an XFINITY Center all-time scoring record of 43 points against Penn State, Maryland's Diggy Coit was named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week on Monday. He was also named Maryland's Solomon Eye Physicians and Surgeons Terp of the Week.
Coit averaged 36.5 points in a split week for Maryland that included a loss at USC and a win over Penn State. The graduate guard turned in a 30-point performance at USC before breaking the XFINITY Center all-time scoring record with 43 points against Penn State.
Overall, for the week, Coit was 23-of-41 (.561) from the field and 13-of-26 (.500) from three-point range.
He is the first NCAA Division I player this season to have multiple 40-point games and the second Terp to do so since Gene Shue in 1952-53. His 30 points in the first half against Penn State marked the most in the first half by a Big Ten player in over five years.
His back-to-back 30-point games also marked the first time to be done by a Terp since Nik Caner-Medley in 2006.
Coit's nine three pointers against the Nittany Lions tied the school record for a single game, while his 43 points (14-23 FG, 9-13 3FG) were just one shy of the school record.
Against USC, he became the first since 2024 and the 26
th all-time road 30-point game in Maryland history. Coit now has 10 30-plus performances for his career which are the most for any active NCAA Division I player.
