MILWAUKEE — David Coit scored 19 points and reserve Isaiah Watts scored 18 as Maryland beat Marquette 89-82 on Saturday.

With 12 minutes left, Maryland lost Pharrel Payne, who drove the lane for a dunk, landed awkwardly in the splits position then yelled in pain while grabbing his right hip. He was carried out on a stretcher. The extent of his injury isn’t known.

Undeterred, Maryland rallied from an eight-point deficit and went on to the win.

Darius Adams scored 16 points, Payne scored 13 and Andre Mills 11 for Maryland (3-1). Elijah Saunders struggled to eight points on 3-of-10 shooting for Maryland but corralled 11 rebounds.
