COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Mike Scott had a career-high 35 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Sammy Zeglinski scored 20 points, and No. 24 Virginia overcame a late collapse in regulation to pull out a 75-72 overtime victory over Maryland on Sunday.
Scott accounted for half of Virginia's 14 points in overtime. The 6-foot-8 senior had never scored more than 28 points in an Atlantic Coast Conference game.
The Cavaliers blew a 12-point lead over the final 8 minutes of regulation but survived the extra session to break a two-game skid. The victory gave Virginia (22-8, 9-7) its most regular-season wins since the Ralph Sampson-led team produced 25 in 1982-83.
With beating Maryland 71-44 on Feb. 18, the Cavaliers completed their first sweep of the Terrapins since 2007.
Terrell Stoglin scored 25 points and Sean Mosley added 17 for Maryland (16-14, 6-10).
