The Terrapins' defense has also been formidable; in their game against Nicholls State, they racked up an astounding 13 blocks and managed to keep turnovers low at six, indicating a solid defensive strategy that could prove vital against the Spartans. Additionally, Maryland's ability to capitalize on second-chance points has been evident, scoring 19 in the same game.


However, it's not just about defense for Maryland. Their assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5 against Alcorn State speaks volumes about their playmaking abilities and teamwork. With such statistics backing them up, it is clear that Maryland is finding its rhythm both offensively and defensively.
