Big Ten Tournament 2016: Maryland basketball's win vs. Nebraska was as straight as shooting

The Maryland men's basketball team wasn't anywhere near perfect in a Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal win against Nebraska on Friday night. But the Terps' superb shooting meant they didn't need to be.

Here's an assessment of how Maryland did against the Hoosiers across the "four factors" of team efficiency: effective field goal percentage (eFG%), turnover percentage (TOV%), offensive rebounding percentage (ORB%) and free throw tries per field goal attempt (FTA/FGA). The proof here is in the pudding: Maryland's shot-making won the Terps the game.

Shooting

Maryland: 71.5 eFG%
Nebraska: 55.3 eFG%
National average: 49.
