The second half opened in ugly fashion, too, with Huerter committing a turnover and Cowan committing a foul within the first 24 seconds. Maryland’s first field goal of the second half didn’t come until nearly seven minutes in, when reserve forward L.G. With Maryland centers Damonte Dodd and Michal Cekovsky both sitting for long stretches in the second half because of foul trouble, Penn State took control of the interior behind bruising forward Mike Watkins.
