Big Ten Tournament 2016: How Maryland basketball got Jake Layman open shots vs. Nebraska

Insane shooting numbers from senior forward Jake Layman catalyzed Maryland's win against Nebraska on Friday.

The NBA Draft hopeful had 17 points in 18 minutes off just seven shots in the first half to shred the Cornhusker's hopes of doubling in the post to force a shaky Terrapins team to beat it from the outside. He finished with 26 points on 13 shots and hit 6-of-9 from deep to complete his first offensive standout performance of the season. He was just a point shy of tying a career high.

What worked for Layman was Maryland's ability to finally take advantage of working the ball to the post and then kicking to shooters.
