College Park witnessed an extraordinary display by Maryland men's basketball as they had what could be termed a "get-right" game. Four days after a heart-wrenching near-upset of No. 15 Marquette, the Terps took out their frustrations on hapless Canisius and cruised to a resounding 108 - 37 victory before 9,485 fans at Xfinity Center.

Maryland's Dominance on the Court After a Disappointing Loss

Senior Julian Reese's Impressive Performance

Senior power forward Julian Reese truly shined in this game. He amassed game highs in both points, scoring 20, and rebounds, with 12. His presence on the court was crucial as he set the tone for the team. Reese, a Randallstown native and St. Frances graduate, was delighted with the team's response after the Friday night's 78 - 74 setback to the Golden Eagles. "It's great, especially coming off of a disappointing loss the other day. It feels good to have guys that I know can bounce back so quickly and just set the tone. That's what I noticed." His performance was a key factor in Maryland's comeback. 2: Reese's double-double was not just a one-off. His ability to dominate in the paint and on the boards was evident throughout the game. He showed great skill and determination, making 6 of 7 shots and providing a solid foundation for the team. His leadership on the court was palpable, and his teammates looked to him for inspiration.

The Team's Winning Streak and Stellar Statistics

The team extended its winning streak against unranked, non-Big Ten opponents to 19 games. This is a remarkable achievement and shows the team's consistency and dominance. They have not lost to an unranked, nonconference foe since Dec. 1, 2021, when they lost to Virginia Tech, 62 - 58. 2: In this game against Canisius, the statistics were staggering. Maryland scored 108 points, the most since a 111 - 85 win against Fairleigh Dickinson on Nov. 18, 2005. They also allowed only 37 points, the fewest ever at Xfinity Center and the fewest since American University - Puerto Rico scored 32 in a 50 - point loss on Nov. 26, 1998. The 71 - point differential was the second largest in program history after a 75 - point margin of victory against North Texas on Dec. 23, 1998. These statistics speak volumes about the team's performance on that night.

Multiple Players' Contributions

Seven players reached double digits in scoring, just one shy of matching the number that produced double figures in a 138 - 72 rout of Morgan State on Dec. 23, 1994. Graduate student small forward Selton Miguel notched 15 points, sophomore shooting guard Rodney Rice pumped in 13, graduate student point guard Jayhlon Young dropped in 12, and junior point guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie, freshman center Derik Queen and freshman shooting guard Malachi Palmer scored 10 each. 2: Each player's contribution was significant. Rice, a Virginia Tech transfer making his first start of the season in place of sophomore DeShawn Harris - Smith, added four rebounds and three assists. Gillespie added six assists, three rebounds and two steals, Miguel three assists and two steals, and Queen and Palmer six rebounds each. The team's depth and balance were on full display.

Defensive Dominance and Key Moments

The team prevented the Golden Griffins from scoring for stretches of 2:24, 9:29 and 4:11 in the first half and 3:39, 3:19 and 4:45 in the second half. During the nearly 9 1/2 - minute drought in the opening frame, Canisius missed 11 consecutive shots. This defensive effort was crucial in securing the victory. 2: Reese registered his first double - double of the season with 14 points (on 6 of 7 shooting) and 10 rebounds with 2:12 left in the first half. Graduate student small forward Selton Miguel scored 13 points on 5 of 9 efficiency, and eight of nine players had scored four points or more. After Golden Griffins junior point guard Paul McMillan IV made 1 of 2 free throws with 17:50 left in the first half, the Terps scored 13 straight points to assume an 18 - 4 lead. McMillan IV's steal and layup ended a 2:24 rut for Canisius, but Maryland responded with a 28 - 0 run over a 7:53 span. These key moments showed the team's ability to turn the tide and maintain their dominance.
