The future of Maryland men’s basketball games in Baltimore is uncertain for now, the last of the Terps’ consecutive games at Royal Farms Arena ending Tuesday night before an announced 7,139.
But after Maryland’s 88-72 win over Charlotte, there might be no greater advocate of a return to Charm City than coach Mark Turgeon. After all, the Terps (12-1) seem to have developed something of a strategy in Baltimore: Struggle early, pull away late and shoot the dang lights out.
A year after a 12-for-25 3-point shooting performance paced Maryland in an 82-61 win over Princeton, the team’s first Baltimore game since 1999, the Terps shot 11-for-23 from deep against the 49ers (6-5).
