LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Derik Queen had 24 points to lead five Maryland players in double figures and the 25th-ranked Terrapins ended Nebraska’s four-game winning streak with an 83-75 victory Thursday night.
Queen was 9 of 11 from the field and made all six of his free throws, and he grabbed 11 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the season.
Selton Miguel had 17 points, Ja’Kobi Gillespie added 15 and Rodney Rice 14 for the Terrapins (19-6, 9-5 Big Ten). Julian Reese had 13 points to go with 12 rebounds for his 11th double-double.
The Terps shot 58.5%, their second-best performance of the season.
Juwan Gary led the Cornhuskers (16-9, 6-8) with 22 points and Brice Williams had 20 points for his fifth straight game with at least that many.
The Terps swept the season series, and Queen was more of a factor than in the 69-66 win at home on Jan. 19. He scored a season-low three points in that game.
Takeaways
Maryland: The Terrapins have won six of seven games, improved to 3-5 on the road and play their next three at home.
Nebraska: This was an extremely tough matchup for the Huskers without 6-foot-10 starting forward Berke Buyuktuncel, who was out with an ankle injury. The 6-10 Andrew Morgan started in place of Buyuktuncel and rotated with the 7-1 Braxton Meah, which often left the 6-6 Gary to guard Queen.
Key moment
After Reese’s big dunk and Williams’ miss on the other end, Queen led a fastbreak and dribbled behind his back before sending a pass to Miguel for an easy lay-in and 54-43 lead early in the second half.
Key stat
Maryland shot 63.6% in the second half and scored on its last six possessions.

Maryland hosts Iowa on Sunday. Nebraska visits Northwestern on Sunday.
