ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Zak Irvin scored a season-high 22 points and Duncan Robinson added 17 with five three-pointers as Michigan upset third-ranked Maryland on Tuesday night, 70-67 in Ann Arbor.

The Wolverines (13-4, 3-1)  blazed the nets at Crisler Center in the first half, shooting 8-of-15 from behind the arc on their way to a 37-29 halftime lead.

The Terrapins (15-2, 4-1) surged in the second half behind freshman phenom Diamond Stone, who scored 20 of his 22 points in the final 20 minutes, including a free throw that put Maryland up 57-56 with 6:48 remaining. Mark Donnal responded with a bucket and foul at the other end — and the Wolverines never relinquished the lead.

Michigan played at 16th-ranked Iowa (12-3, 3-0) on Sunday.
