Though the Maryland men's basketball team’s current 24-7 record is certainly nothing to scoff at, there is a sense of underachievement surrounding this team heading into the Big Ten Tournament.
Melo Trimble and Rasheed Sulaimon each have had their share of ups and downs this season. Jake Layman, the team’s only four-year senior, has had an overall productive but inconsistent year. Robert Carter Jr. has provided the Terps with a much needed offensive threat from the power forward position, but has also been relatively inconsistent down the stretch. While the Terps finished the regular season with a worse record than last year’s, they are still in the AP Top 25 and have been all year.
