No. 13 Maryland men’s basketball’s “Crab Five” — the name given to the team’s starting five — has received national recognition and catapulted the Terps into Final Four conversations.
But while the starters have carried Maryland to success, one pressing question remains: Do the Terps have enough depth to thrive in the postseason?
The starting five — Ja’Kobi Gillespie, Rodney Rice, Selton Miguel, Julian Reese and Derik Queen — has logged heavy minutes all season. Each has played at least 817 minutes, with Gillespie leading the way at 902. DeShawn Harris-Smith, who has started four games, is the Terps’ top option off the bench, but has played only 454 minutes.
