Maryland men’s basketball has not gotten off to the start that many had hoped for. It was a season of expectations for the Terps, who started off No. 21 in the AP Top 25 poll and even worked their way up one spot after the second week. But those expectations of a top team in the nation were seemingly too high, or at least, so it seems at this point in the season.
But then again, Maryland has the talent with its starting five to excel in the Big Ten and outside of the conference. It has the pieces on the bench to complement the rest of the scoring prowess that lies within the starting lineup that Mark Turgeon rolls out on a game-to-game basis.
