Justin Edwards is a baller...Maine beats UMBC

Ok, I am starting to get the man crush like MidRangeGame. Justin Edwards is a beast, it is that simple. He confirmed it earlier today as Maine defeated UMBC easily 89-70. Yes, Edwards was only 2 for 8 from the field. Yes, he finished with 11 points and three rebounds. However, you only need to see the following to understand his greatness...

Yes, he actually did that. The one play overshadowed everything else, including the fact that he wasn't even close to being the top scorer in the game. That honor went to Gerald McLemore, who finished with 29 points. Edwards finished fourth in scoring for Maine, behind Raheem Singleton and Alasdair Fraser. However, with plays like this, Edwards could soon become a household name across the country. The victory for the Black Bears puts them in a tie, for now, for first in the conference at 2-0.

Turnovers and fouls continue to hurt UMBC. Despite another solid performance from Chase Plummer and Ryan Cook, the Retrievers allowed Maine to go to the line 29 times and committed 17 turnovers. UMBC is now 1-2 in conference.
