After struggling down the stretch, Maryland is ready to wipe the slate clean when the 2016 NCAA Tournament begins against South Dakota State on Friday.
The Terrapins enter the NCAA Tournament losers of five of their last eight games. Maryland did manage to beat Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, but fell to Michigan State in a hard-fought loss in the semifinals.
One of Maryland’s biggest issues against Michigan State was their shooting. The Terps only shot 33.3 percent (18-of-54) from the field while guards Rasheed Sulaimon and Melo Trimble connected on just five of their 25 field goal attempts.
