Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at 1.5, indicating efficient ball handling and teamwork.

However, consistency remains an area for improvement as evidenced by their performance against Wisconsin Badgers where they fell short by four points (70-74). The team's free throw accuracy was commendable at 74 percent but was overshadowed by Wisconsin's staggering 90 percent from the line.


As they head into enemy territory, it is crucial for Maryland to focus on maintaining strong defense while capitalizing on scoring opportunities inside the paint where they've shown proficiency. Ball security will also be key as turnovers have been detrimental in tight contests.
