Scouting Maryland
Maryland has put together an impressive first season in the Big Ten for Mark Turgeon, as they enter Thursday’s game with a 25-5 record and in second place in the Big Ten with a 13-4 mark. The Terrapins, who can be either the first or second seed in next week’s Big Ten Tournament, have won their last six games, most recently a 60-50 win at Rutgers on Tuesday night. The Terrapins finished the regular season by going 18-1 at home, but are just 5-4 in true road games this season.

Turgeon is a familiar face for long-time Husker fans, as he played at Kansas from 1984 to 1987 for Larry Brown and also served as an assistant at KU from 1987 to 1992. He served as a head coach at Jacksonville State, Wichita State and Texas A&M before taking the Maryland job prior to the 2011-12 season.

Maryland, which averages 69.9 points per game, feature a trio of double figure scorers in freshman guard Melo Trimble, senior guard Dez Wells and junior forward Jake Layman. The Terrapins rank second nationally in free throws made, as Trimble leads the Big Ten and ranks fifth nationally with 181 free throws, while ranking fifth in the Big Ten at 16.0 points per game. Wells provides a veteran presence who averages 15.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while Layman chips in 13.2 points per game. The Terrapins stretch defenses to the 3-point line, ranking fifth in the Big Ten with 222 3-pointers while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.

DJ Newbill goes ape against Minny and hits the game winning 3 leaving an opportunity for Nebraska getting the 10 seed with a win and getting an extra day of rest.

[Comish]

At least it gives them a tangible goal for winning tonight............

I'm expecting great effort.

Hopefully, we get of to a solid start and keep the crowd around and in it for a while......

Eh, the illegal screen by Maryland was bad but other than that I think the fouls are warranted. Lots of slapping and quite a few guys getting contact going to the rim.

They are ticky tac and it makes the game no fun when the whistle blows every minute, and in this case, more than once a minute.
