Never In Doubt

Unlike some of the Cavs
earlier defeats, however, the
outcome of this game was
never really in doubt. Virginia
came closest to reentering the
game in the first minute of the
second half when two Parkhill
baskets cut Maryland's lead to
43-40 with 18:26 remaining.

It was then that Terrapin
big men Tom McMillen and
Jim O'Brien teamed with the
mercurial Lucas to do the
Wahoos in. Reacting coolly to
the Cavalier challenge,
Maryland refused to lose its
composure at this key juncture
and ran off 14 of the next 16
points to put the game on ice.
