The Maryland men's basketball team hasn't accomplished much yet. The Terps are 10-1, but they don't have a clear quality win and have only played one team worthy of beating them – which North Carolina went ahead and did.
But Maryland's underlying statistical indicators offer plenty of reason for optimism, with one of those sticking out above the rest: The Terps are shooting the lights out.
As of Saturday afternoon, Maryland's team field goal percentage is No. 3 nationally at 53.6 percent. Its effective field goal percentage, an advanced metric that gives extra weight to 3-pointers, is 61.
