COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Virginia Tech opened the game with a 12-0 run, got a career-high 24 points from Erick Green and coasted to a 74-57 victory over Maryland on Thursday night.
Malcolm Delaney scored 19 points for the Hokies, who never trailed in winning for only the fourth time in 20 games at Maryland. Virginia Tech (12-5, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won eight of nine, seven by double figures.
Green, a sophomore guard, went 12 for 16 from the field and the Hokies shot 54 percent against the nation's sixth-ranked defense in field goal percentage.
The Terrapins (11-7, 1-3) couldn't recover from their awful start. Jordan Williams had 11 points and 11 rebounds to tie Len Elmore's school record of 12 straight double-doubles, but the sophomore forward made only one basket in the decisive first half.
Cliff Tucker led Maryland with 13 points and Adrian Bowie had 10.
