Maryland was led by freshman Darryl Morsell's career-best 18 points. Kevin Huerter had 15, Michal Cekovsky 12, and Anthony Cowan 10. Maryland (9-3) shot 54.5 percent (30 of 55) from the field, including 57.1 percent (16 of 28) in the second half.

Maryland scored the final eight points of the first half to lead 38-24 at the break.

The Runnin' Bulldogs had stayed close for most of the first half before going scoreless over the final 4:04. It was 30-24 when Jaheam Cornwall hit two free throws, but Morsell, who had 11 first-half points, hit two free throws at 3:52 to start the run, which also included 3-pointers from Joshua Tomaic and Cowan.

Morsell and Tomaic were part of a big 17-2 first-half advantage in bench scoring for the Terrapins, who were without freshman forward Bruno Fernando, out with an ankle sprain suffered Thursday in the win over Ohio.

Tomaic had a career-high nine points as Maryland's bench outscored Gardner-Webb 33-8.
