No. 7 Maryland remains unbeaten in Big Ten with 84-74 win
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Lexie Brown scored 21 points and Brionna Jones added 10 and 14 rebounds to help No. 7 Maryland remain unbeaten in Big Ten play with a 84-74 win over Indiana on Sunday.
Maryland (17-2, 8-0 Big Ten) has won 11 straight since falling to Notre Dame on Dec. 3.
The Hoosiers (12-7, 2-6) led early and tied the Terrapins five times early in the first half. The game was tied at 15 with 12:44 left in the half before Maryland outscored Indiana 32-14 the rest of the half.
A late surge by Indiana closed the deficit to 10 with under a minute to play. That was the closest the Hoosiers would come to challenging the Terrapins, whose biggest lead was 24.
Tyra Buss scored 19 points to lead Indiana.
