The Maryland men's basketball team lost by 9 points to Michigan State on Saturday night, and the autopsy isn't a complicated one.
The Terps lost this game by failing to corral defensive rebounds and being outscored by 10 points at the foul line. The fouls discrepancy – Maryland gave up 29 free throw attempts and only got 16 – owes largely to officiating and Michigan State playing on its home court. But the rebounding, well, that's on Maryland. And it's become a real problem.
Here's a look at how Maryland fared in the "four factors" of team efficiency: effective field goal percentage (eFG%), turnover percentage (TOV%), offensive rebounding percentage (ORB%) and free throws per field goal attempt (FTA/FGA).
