COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Anthony Roberson scored 20 points as No. 14 Florida ended No. 18 Maryland's 87-game non-conference home winning streak with a 69-64 victory Saturday.
Maryland's streak was the longest such run in the nation. The Terrapins' last home loss to a non-ACC team was Dec. 12, 1989, against Coppin State. The streak began 18 days later against Alcorn State.
Roberson, a freshman who was just 6 years old when the streak started, went 8-of-14 from the field, including 4-of-7 on 3-point attempts. Matt Bonner added 16 points for Florida (7-2).
Ryan Randle had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Maryland (4-3). The defending national champions have lost three of their last four games.
The Terrapins also hurt themselves at the line, shooting just 4-of-11.
Roberson's 3-pointer started a 9-0 run that put the Gators ahead 48-40 with 13:18 left. They kept the lead the rest of the way, with Roberson hitting another 3-pointer to silence the crowd after the Terrapins cut the lead to two with three minutes left.
