COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland was being dominated on the boards and seemingly incapable of scoring from the outside. As the deficit against Towson reached double digits, coach Mark Turgeon began to wonder if a comeback was possible.I wasnt sure if we could do it, he admitted.Down by 13 points with 14 minutes left, the Terrapins (4-0) rallied behind Melo Trimble to pull out a 71-66 victory Sunday.Trimble scored 27 and freshman Justin Jackson added 21 for Maryland, which used a game-ending 35-17 surge to squeeze past its in-state foe.We figured out how to win. Its what we do, Turgeon said. When we were down 13 it didnt look good.It was tied at 66 when Towson guard Deshaun Morman missed a shot and Trimble was fouled getting the rebound.Trimble made two free throws with 35.9 seconds left. After Mike Morsell misfired for the Tigers, freshman Anthony Cowan was fouled and sank one of two shots for a three-point cushion.Towsons last chance faded when Morman missed a 3-pointer and Kevin Huerter made two fouls shots on the other end.It was just about us playing defense and dialing in, said Trimble, who went 4 for 15 from the floor but was 16 for 17 at the foul line.The Tigers (2-1) outrebounded Maryland 46-33 but were outscored 26-15 at the foul line.Morsell led the Tigers with 17 points and Morman had 15. Towson is 0-13 against the Terrapins.The Tigers had more height than Maryland, but they didnt have Trimble.Im a Red Sox fan, Towson coach Pat Skerry said. Its like playing against Mariano Rivera back in the day. Hes like the ultimate closer for a team.The Tigers, on the other hand, couldnt make a sizeable lead stand up.Towson opened the second half with a 13-2 run to move in front 49-36 with 14:27 remaining. Maryland missed its first seven field-goal tries before Trimble ended the dry spell with a 3-point play.That ignited a 12-1 run that got the Terrapins to 50-48. The Tigers then expanded their lead to 56-51, but soon after that, Trimble hit a 3 from the corner to put Maryland up 61-58, its first lead since 27-26 late in the first half.Were an unbelievable work in progress when it comes to our offense right now, Turgeon said. With 12 minutes to go in the game I finally figured out what was going to work and we were able to do some good things against them.Unlike his coach, Trimble was confident the Terps could pull it out.We knew we could come back and hopefully change the momentum and try and get the lead back, he said. It was just about us playing defense and dialing in.The matchup was a campus-site game in the Barclays Center Classic, which does not put the teams in brackets until the action shifts to New York and Towson on Nov. 25.SHORTHANDEDMaryland was without guard Dion Wiley, who had a stomach virus. Turgeon is also waiting on 7-foot-1 center Michal Cekovsky, who has yet to play this year because of a sprained foot.THE TAKEAWAYTowson: The Tigers showed they can complete with one of the better teams in the nation, which should serve as a confidence-boost when they get into play in the Colonial Athletic Conference.I told our guys our goal is to get into the NCAA tournament, Skerry said. Thats the type of team youre going to play against and be able to beat.Maryland: This marked the third time in four games the Terrapins were involved in a close game. Barely beating American and Towson is nothing to crow about, but the experience gained from playing in tight affairs could prove beneficial in the future.Weve figured out how to win three closes games now, which is a (good) sign when youre playing so many young kids like we are, Turgeon said.UP NEXTTowson travels to Boston College on Tuesday night for another campus-site game in the Barclays Classic.Maryland hosts Stony Brook on Tuesday night in the Barclays Classic. The Terps are 2-0 against Stony Brook, winning in 2000 and 2012.

His manager, Robin Ventura, is happy to still have his ace left-hander around for Wednesdays game against the Detroit Tigers.Rumors swirled around the fading White Sox prior to the non-waiver trade deadline on Monday but they only made one deal. They shipped out left-handed reliever Zach Duke to St. Louis for outfielder Charlie Tilson, who was injured in his major-league debut at Detroit on Tuesday.The asking price for Sale and No. 2 starter Jose Quintana proved too high for opposing executives trying to acquire one of them.With that, theres a sense of relief in the Chicago clubhouse.The group likes each other, Ventura said. For them, its tough when you see a guy like Zack Duke go out the door. He was a big part of the guys we had in bullpen, a very effective part of it. But as far as attitude and everything, you just continue on.Sale, who is 14-4, remains tied for the American League lead in wins despite not recording one in his last three outings. He will be making his second start since serving a five-game team suspension, which he received for cutting up throwback uniforms prior to a scheduled start against the Tigers.Sale took the loss upon his return against the Cubs on July 28 despite allowing only two runs in six innings.He is 8-6 with a 3.20 ERA in 26 career outing against the Tigers, including 16 starts. He went 1-1 in two June starts against them this season. He has generally pitched well at Comerica Park, going 3-3 with a 3.53 ERA in 10 career appearances.Tilson, who started in center field, strained his left hamstring chasing after a Miguel Cabrera double during the Tigers 11-5 win on Tuesday.Hes the fourth White Sox call-up to be injured this year during their fiirst game.ddddddddddddYou feel for the kid, just like the other ones that have come up, Ventura said. Its crazy. Weve had four guys make their debut and get taken off the field. You look back at all of them and theyre just freak injuries.The red-hot Tigers did even less during the trade deadline, opting to stand pat rather than giving up a top prospect for another veteran arm. They have won seven straight and are 10 games over .500 for the first time this season.We felt coming into spring training like this was a team that could compete for a championship, manager Brad Ausmus said. That hasnt changed.Ausmus expects to have two key players back before the end of the series. Jordan Zimmermann, who has been on the 15-day disabled list with a right neck strain, is scheduled to start Thursdays matinee. Right fielder J.D. Martinez, who has been sidelined since mid-June with an elbow fracture, was activated from the DL after Tuesdays game and will likely start Wednesday.Rookie of the Year candidate Michael Fulmer will oppose Sale. Fulmer has not pitched since last Wednesday, when he took a no
