Bias Achieves Another Milestone

After its rocky start in 1986, Maryland won six of its last 8 regular season games to gather momentum for an NCAA tournament bid, and fitting that unpredictable seasonal narrative, Maryland clinched an NCAA bid with another win against North Carolina, this time in the first round of the ACC tournament. Compared to the previous win over North Carolina, Bias’s performance was more steady than dramatic: 20 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. Still, he reached a much-anticipated milestone and became Maryland’s all-time leading scorer with 2,072 points. Juan Dixon and Greivis Vasquez have since surpassed Bias on Maryland’s all-time scoring list.
