INDIANAPOLIS -- Tom Coverdale waited a long time for a second chance at Maryland. The senior guard from Indiana didn't waste it.
Coverdale, who was hobbled by a badly sprained left ankle when the teams met for the national championship last April, led the 10th-ranked Hoosiers in every way possible Tuesday night.
He matched his career high with 30 points in the 80-74 overtime victory over the ninth-ranked Terrapins in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge. He rallied the Hoosiers from a 14-point deficit in the first half and then settled the team down in the overtime.
"Whenever you sit around all summer and think about you're 11 minutes away from a national championship and that's all you think about, of course, it's going to mean something extra," Coverdale said. "I'm real happy with this win."
Coverdale was 8-of-16 from the field, including 5-of-10 from 3-point range, and 9-of-10 at the free-throw line.
Steve Blake had 22 points for Maryland (3-1).
No. 25 Illinois 92, No. 12 North Carolina 65
Brian Cook had 22 points and Sean Harrington had 20 as the Illini (4-0) won in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge and handed the Tar Heels and their talented freshmen their first loss.
Illinois led 64-57 with 7:42 left and then outscored the Tar Heels 28-8.
Freshman Sean May led visiting North Carolina (5-1) with 21 points.
No. 16 Xavier 74, Purdue 59
Lionel Chalmers scored 24 points and David West added 18 for the Musketeers (3-1), who led by double digits midway through the first half and were never seriously threatened.
Willie Deane had 21 points for the visiting Boilermakers (2-1).
Clemson 79, Penn State 70
ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) -- Clemson senior point guard Ed Scott scored 25 points and dished out seven assists as Clemson gave the Atlantic Coast Conference another win in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
Clemson (3-0) never trailed, jumping out to a 15-2 lead sparked by Chey Christie's seven points. He finished with 15, and the Tigers are off to their best start in four seasons.
The Nittany Lions (0-4) are off to their worst start since 1931.
