A look at Maryland men’s basketball’s historically bad shooting start

Maryland men’s basketball is off to a slow start shooting the ball through its first five games. Well, that would be putting it kindly. Maryland is struggling to knock down perimeter shots in the early part of the season. That might be an understatement, too.
