The team’s shooting accuracy has been noteworthy; they achieved approximately 49 percent from the field and an impressive free-throw percentage of about 78 percent against Coppin State. However, their three-point shooting was less effective at around 19 percent, indicating room for improvement from beyond the arc.


In their previous games, including matchups against Miami Hurricanes and Saint Louis Billikens during tournament play, Maryland maintained high field goal percentages of approximately 60 percent and above. Their two-point shot efficiency has been particularly remarkable throughout these games.


Defensively, Maryland has shown consistency as well. They've managed to keep turnovers relatively low while maintaining a positive assist-to-turnover ratio. Against Saint Louis Billikens specifically, they demonstrated solid defensive prowess with seven steals and four blocks contributing to their victory.


Playing away at the KFC Yum! Center could present its challenges for Maryland; however, their current momentum suggests that they are more than capable of putting up a strong fight on any court.


Terrapins fans should mark their calendars for November 30th when this exciting game will take place. The match will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN2 (channel number:209), providing fans everywhere an opportunity to witness what promises to be an engaging battle between two competitive teams.
