Competitiveness of Maryland basketball's scout team helps prepare starters

Andrew Terrell, a walk-on for the Maryland men's basketball team, was talking about a play he had made for the scout team in practice Wednesday when star sophomore guard Melo Trimble walked by.

"Today, Melo turned his head wrong and I got him on a back door," Terrell said with a laugh, looking in Trimble's direction.

Trimble, silent as usual, smiled as he walked by.

With the sixth-ranked Terps having won nine of their first 10 games going into Saturday's matchup with Princeton (6-2) at Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, some of the credit for the early-season success goes to how the scout team has helped prepare the players in Mark Turgeon's regular rotation during practice.
