David Coit tied Maryland's single-game record with nine 3-pointers, scoring a career-high 43 points to lead the Terrapins past Penn State 96-73. The graduate transfer from Kansas dominated, hitting 14-of-23 shots and 9-of-15 from deep. Maryland snapped a four-game losing streak with its first Big Ten win of the season.

The Terrapins set season highs across the board, shooting 54.1% from the field and 52.9% from three-point range. Their 39-21 rebounding advantage over Penn State was decisive. For Coit, this marked his second 40-point game and third with at least eight made threes this season, cementing his role as Maryland's offensive engine.

Penn State's struggles continued with a fifth straight loss, falling to 0-7 in conference play. While Kayden Mingo (19 points) and Dominick Stewart (17 points) led the Nittany Lions, they couldn't contain Coit's barrage. Maryland now turns to a challenging road test at No. 13 Illinois on Wednesday.
