Maryland stuns NC State with last second win 51-50

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -
Alex Len dropped in a missed shot by teammate Pe'Shon Howard with 00.9 seconds left, giving Maryland a stunning 51-50 victory over No. 14 North Carolina State on Wednesday night.
Howard drove the left side and came up short on a 5-footer, but the 7-foot-1 Len grabbed the ball in front of the rim and eased it through the hoop. After the Wolfpack failed on a desperation heave on the other end, thousands of students in the sellout crowd stormed the court to celebrate Maryland's first win over a ranked team since March 3, 2010, against No. 4 Duke.
Len, with 10 points, was the only Terrapin to score in double figures.
Maryland (14-3, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) has won 10 of 11 against the Wolfpack (14-3, 3-1), including five in a row at home.
Lorenzo Brown scored 17 points for NC State, which had won 10 straight overall.
