The University of Maryland Terrapins (13-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) dominated the Virginia Tech Hokies (9-5, 0-1 ACC) from the opening tip Saturday afternoon. Two of the freshmen in this impressive class looked great in the Maryland’s 94-71 victory. Jake Layman and Seth Allen were two of the four Terrapins in double figures.
A hot start and a nail-biting finish. That’s the best way to describe the Maryland Terrapins’ (10-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) 76-69 victory over the Stony Brook Seawolves (8-3, 0-0 America East Conference). Led by Alex Len (19 points) and Dez Wells (19 points) the Terps built a big first half lead. Maryland knocked down a bunch of 3-pointers, but still had to hang on
The Maryland Terrapins (6-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) pulled away from the George Mason Patriots (5-3, 0-0 Colonial Athletic Association) to earn their sixth straight win. Sophomore guard Dez Wells led the way with 25 points in the Terps’ 69-62 victory. Wells scored the first eight points for Maryland to get the offense off to a good start.
The Maryland (3-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) men’s basketball team continued to build momentum for the season with their third consecutive victory. They defeated Lafayette (1-4, 0-0 Patriot League) 83-74 Tuesday night in the final game of the Barclays Center Classic. The Terps struggled at the foul line and defending the three pointer, but Lafayette was overmatched due to the Terps’ size and strength, particularly
It finally happened. The University of Maryland, a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, has abandoned their affiliation with that conference and joined the Big Ten. This move has been rumored for years and will become official in 2014. The Big Ten will have 14 teams with Rutgers joining as well. Why is this a good move? For starters, the Terrapins will finally be
The young Maryland Terrapins (2-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) just keep getting better. Although coach Mark Turgeon wasn’t happy with his team’s performance in the first half of their 91-74 victory Friday night, the Terps are a good, athletic team. The addition of transfer Dez Wells really showed through against the Blackbirds of Long Island University of Brooklyn (0-3, 0-0 Northeastern Conference) in Friday night’s
The Maryland Terrapins (1-1, 0-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) were impressive in a season-opening loss to Kentucky Friday night. Monday evening had the young Terps matched up against Morehead State (1-1, 0-0 Ohio Valley Conference) and they won 67-45. Maryland came out strong, got an early lead behind more strong play from sophomore center Alex Len and never looked back. The Terps showed how athletic and
In another week of a struggling offense, the Maryland Terrapins (4-6, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) dropped their latest game to the Clemson Tigers (9-1, 6-1). The Tigers beat Maryland 45-10 Saturday afternoon. Playing without Stefon Diggs and with fifth string quarterback Shawn Petty, it was a very similar game to last week’s loss. Maryland just can’t throw the ball very well with Petty. The defense
The season opener for the Maryland Terrapins (0-1) against No. 3 Kentucky (1-0) was thought to be tough. It certainly was, but the young Terrapins hung in. Maryland lost 72-69, but the game felt different than anything from last season. This season’s Terps are physical and big. They’re also very good at rebounding and have improved their foul shooting. Possibly the most improved player on
The Terps (4-5, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) are on their fifth quarterback and they just suffered their fifth loss of the season. It’s hard to judge the Terps’ 33-13 loss to Georgia Tech because of the quarterback situation. However, it wasn’t pretty and they still turn the ball over an awful lot. Let’s see how it goes next week.
