Coach Kevin Willard has shared a blunt fact together with his level guard, Jahmir Younger: Generally, particularly within the Huge Ten, you aren’t going to play properly. It occurs even to high gamers, however Younger remains to be arduous on himself. Willard observed a kind of slumps and a few indicators of frustration early in Maryland’s matchup with Ohio State on Sunday, so he advised Younger: “You’re going again into that cycle. Get out of your cycle.”

Jahmir Young brings the energy as the Terps dump the No. 24 Buckeyes

Younger rebounded by delivering a career-best efficiency and main the Terrapins to an 80-73 win over the No. 24 Buckeyes at Xfinity Heart. He attacked the rim, drew fouls, grabbed rebounds and posted 30 factors to tie his finest scoring outing from his first three school seasons at Charlotte.
Younger, who performed at DeMatha, transferred to Maryland earlier than this season — a step up in competitors — and has continued to generate standout showings. His season-high 11 rebounds have been simply shy of his career-best 12, and he drew 10 fouls.
“He simply stayed after it and stayed after it,” Willard stated. “His vitality and his tenaciousness was actually the distinction.”
Younger powered the Terps (11-5, 2-3) to a crucial win that ended a five-game dropping streak towards main convention opponents and snapped a two-game skid general. Sunday’s victory offers Maryland a lift because it enters a stretch that includes tough matchups at Iowa, vs. Michigan and at No. 1 Purdue.
Past Younger’s double-double, Maryland had 4 different gamers rating in double figures: Hakim Hart (12), Donta Scott (12), Don Carey (10) and Julian Reese (10). That manufacturing provided optimism for an offense that had struggled currently. Maryland was a power within the paint and shot 46.2 p.c from the sector towards the shorthanded Buckeyes (10-5, 2-2), who have been lacking ahead Zed Key due to a shoulder harm.
Ohio State had a 39-34 edge at halftime, however Willard’s group engineered a dominant stretch to begin the second half and take management. In the course of the break, Willard had his group watch movie, and the Terps made an adjustment of their press that was efficient. On the Buckeyes’ first 9 possessions after halftime, that they had 5 turnovers, missed six photographs and scored no factors.
“We didn’t have quite a lot of deflections going into the second half,” Younger stated. “So popping out, we simply needed to make an emphasis on that — making an attempt to get deflections, making an attempt to hurry them up and switch them over. We did that and have been in a position to get good photographs in return.”
The Terps constructed a 14-point lead, then stalled a bit. Reese bought referred to as for a technical foul with 9:40 to go, and a pair of Buckeyes free throws kick-started a 13-2 run that trimmed Maryland’s result in three with 6:15 remaining.
Ohio State narrowed the margin to 3 factors three extra occasions, however Maryland continued to reply. Willard referred to as a timeout when the Terps held a 72-68 lead with 1:29 to go, and Younger then made a hook shot to assist put the sport away.
Right here’s what else to find out about Maryland’s win:
The Terps hadn’t scored greater than 20 factors within the first half of their earlier 4 video games towards main convention opponents. In Maryland’s earlier two Huge Ten matchups — losses at Michigan and Rutgers — the Terps had simply 4 area objectives within the first half towards the Wolverines and 6 towards the Scarlet Knights.
Willard hoped these points would disappear when Maryland returned house, and at first of this recreation, the Terps confirmed promise. They made 9 of 13 area objective makes an attempt to seize a 23-16 lead, highlighted by a stretch during which they scored on seven straight possessions. However then Ohio State tightened up on protection, the Terps went chilly, and the Buckeyes chipped away till that they had a five-point halftime lead.
Within the closing 11 minutes earlier than halftime, Maryland missed 15 of 16 photographs. However within the second half, the Terps shot 60.9 p.c to retake the lead and by no means relinquish it.
“I used to be not anxious that we might play dangerous offensively in the present day,” Willard stated. “We’re house.”
Ohio State principally performed with a small lineup. With out Key, a 6-foot-8 ahead, 6-11 freshman middle Felix Okpara began, however he logged simply 12 minutes. Not one of the different Buckeyes who performed are taller than 6-7.
The Terps have Reese, a 6-9 middle, however aren’t constructed to bully Huge Ten groups within the paint. This recreation provided a uncommon alternative for them to be the aggressor. Reese didn’t capitalize as a lot as he might have, making simply 4 of 10 area objective makes an attempt, however Maryland outscored the Buckeyes 34-22 within the paint and had a 40-26 rebounding edge.
“We missed [Key’s] physicality,” Ohio State Coach Chris Holtmann stated. “We missed [the] skill to publish him and play via him at occasions.”
Maryland made 5 three-pointers on a season-low 13 makes an attempt. With their measurement benefit, the Terps as a substitute relied on getting inside and attacking the rim. In a whistle-heavy matchup, Maryland made 27 of 33 free throws.
Willard was significantly happy that his group continued to get into the paint because it was heading off the Buckeyes’ late push. Maryland tried simply 5 three-pointers within the second half, making two.
“We are able to’t at all times shoot threes,” Willard stated. “We’re within the double bonus — drive it, drive it. Put strain on a protection. I assumed we took step there the place we didn’t settle and we have been extra aggressive.”

Maryland joins IRS Direct File program, offering free tax filing for up to 700,000 taxpayers – Maryland Matters
![Maryland joins IRS Direct File program, offering free tax filing for up to 700,000 taxpayers – Maryland Matters Maryland joins IRS Direct File program, offering free tax filing for up to 700,000 taxpayers – Maryland Matters](https://marylandmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024_Adeyemo_moore_lierman_directfile_edit-2048x1372.jpg)
Some Maryland taxpayers will be able to use a free electronic filing tool for their federal taxes rather than having to pay a tax preparer or buy tax-filing software next year, when Maryland will offer the IRS’s new Direct File service.
The service was tested in 12 states this year, where 140,803 people filed with Direct File, saving an estimated $5.6 million in tax preparation fees. Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman (D) estimated Wednesday that as many as 700,000 Maryland taxpayers could be eligible for the program when it debuts in the state next year.
“While we value our relationship with tax preparers and CPAs (certified public accountants), it’s unacceptable that Marylanders should have to pay any portion whatsoever of their refund or paycheck to fulfill a mandatory requirement like filing tax returns,” Lierman said at a news conference announcing the program.
The IRS and the U.S. Treasury still have to finalize eligibility rules for the program this fall, but Lierman said it will be a “game changer” for those families who do qualify, which could be as much as 20% of individual taxpayers in the state.
“Taxes are a part of the glue that keeps our state and our nation together, functioning, producing, protecting and thriving,” Lierman said. “Yet in America, we make it uniquely challenging to pay those taxes and file a return — until now.”
According to the Treasury, taxpayers spend “approximately 13 hours and $270 preparing their taxes each year.” Many Americans use tax filing services or software, such as TurboTax and H&R Block, to ensure that their taxes are filed correctly, despite most of the information being readily available state and federal tax collection agencies.
It’s unacceptable that Marylanders should have to pay any portion whatsoever of their refund or paycheck to fulfill a mandatory requirement like filing tax returns.
– Comptroller Brooke Lierman
Direct File launched this year in 12 states for people to file their 2023 federal returns — Arizona, California, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo said the program is aimed at helping middle-income tax filers with “relatively simple” filings.
“What I can tell you is our goal for us is to build a system that’s going to work for working class and middle class Americans. So you get a W-2, and you’re somebody who’s a teacher, you’re a fireman, you’re a doctor who’s earning most of your money from a W-2, we want to make sure we’re building a system that potentially works for you,” said Adeyemo, who was in Annapolis for the announcement.
“The thing we’re not going to do is build a system that works for big corporations or wealthy individuals. Next year we’re going to expand the system so that more Americans are able to participate in it,” Adeyemo said.
The Biden administration invited all 50 states and the District of Columbia to join the program next year, when people will be filing their 2024 taxes. The Treasury said that Maryland joins Oregon, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Connecticut, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Maine in taking up Direct File.
“I know to some, this announcement may seem inconsequential — and I know how exciting tax announcements are,” Gov. Wes Moore (D) joked at the announcement. “But the details matter. They matter to the families who are impacted by this work. They’re going to matter to the families, who … dread tax season because it feels complicated. Who dread tax season because it seems expensive, or oftentimes have to deal with the consequences of getting something wrong.”
The Direct File program came out of the Inflation Reduction Act signed in 2022, which also secured additional funding to help the IRS modernize and provide better services to Americans.
But Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), who chairs a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Subcommittee, said Direct File program and other services under the Inflation Reduction Act could be “under threat.” While his subcommittee wants to fully fund the IRS and keep Direct File going, House leaders want to cut funding for both.
He also said that the industry is lobbying against the free tax filing system.
“There are people who didn’t want us to do this, including a lot of the middlemen” who currently profit from tax preparation, Van Hollen said. “They’re lobbying against this kind of thing.”
In addition to Van Hollen, Moore, Lierman and Adeyemo, Wednesday’s event drew a number of Maryland Democratic heavyweights: U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, U.S. Reps. Steny Hoyer John Sarbanes and State Treasurer Dereck Davis.
Hoyer put it simply: “Nobody likes taxes.”
“We don’t really get excited about paying our taxes. But we know that it is the price of our democracy,” Hoyer said. “We ought to make it as easy as possible for people to comply with a legal obligation that they have to support their country, their state and their communities.”

Maryland Senate race poll shows Democrat Alsobrooks leading GOP's Hogan, despite 1 in 3 not knowing who she is

The Democratic candidate for senate in Maryland is leading her GOP rival despite more than a third of eligible voters not recognizing her name.
A poll published by Gonzales Research & Media Services this week found that Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks has pulled ahead of Republican former Governor Larry Hogan by five points — 46% to 41%.
Alsobrooks’ current success in the polls comes as a surprise, given the Democratic candidate’s continued struggles with low name recognition among voters.
The Gonzales poll found that approximately 34% of registered voters do not recognize Alsobrooks by name. This includes approximately 33% of independents who do not recognize Alsobrooks, as well as 17% of eligible voters registered with the Democratic Party.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC SENATE CANDIDATE SAYS THERE SHOULD BE NO LIMIT ON ABORTION
The winner of the November election will succeed Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin, who is retiring this year after serving nearly two decades in the Senate and nearly six decades as a state and then federal lawmaker.
With Democrats trying to protect their fragile Senate majority, Hogan’s late entry into the race in February gave them an unexpected headache in a state previously considered safe territory.

A vocal Republican critic of former President Trump who previously flirted with a 2024 White House run, Hogan has repeatedly said that he will not vote for the former president in November’s election. In the spring, he stood out from most other Republicans for publicly calling for the guilty verdicts in Trump’s criminal trial to be respected.
The Gonzales Research & Media Services poll was conducted from Aug. 24 to Aug. 30 and surveyed 820 self-described likely voters via phone interviews.
