Melo Trimble and Rashad Sulaimon are starting to state their case for the best backcourt of the nation. The duo missed one shot combined, going 13-of-14 collectively from the field, as No. 2 Maryland remained undefeated by rolling past Rhode Island 86-63 in the finals of the Cancun Challenge.

Trimble shot a perfect 7-of-7 from the field and 3-of-3 from the free throw line for 17 points, adding six rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Meanwhile, Sulaimon shot 6-of-7 from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range — his lone miss coming off a missed three pointer with 3:35 remaining in the game — matching Trimble with 17 points and four assists.
