Diggy Coit's offensive explosion gets Maryland first Big Ten win, but why didn't he chase a legendary record?
Key Points:
- Maryland senior guard Diggy Coit set an Xfinity Center record by scoring 43 points in a 96-73 win over Penn State, narrowly missing the school's all-time single-game scoring record of 44 points set by Ernie Graham in 1978.
- Neither Coit nor Maryland coach Buzz Williams were initially aware he was one point shy of the record during the game, leading to no deliberate effort to get him the record-breaking shot.
- Coit became the first Maryland player in 20 years to have back-to-back 30-point games and tied the school record with nine 3-pointers in a single game.
- This marked Coit's fourth 30-point game of the season and the 10th time
