Maryland men’s basketball returns for a regular-season game in front of fans in the Xfinity Center for the first time since March 8, 2020. The Terps faced Michigan that day and won, 83-70, claiming a piece of the Big Ten regular season title.
Now, about 20 months later, senior guard Eric Ayala, junior forward Donta Scott and junior guard Hakim Hart are the only players who were on the roster for that game that will also be playing for the Terps this season.
In addition to returning that trio, head coach Mark Turgeon picked up graduate guard Fatts Russell from the University of Rhode Island and junior forward Qudus Wahab from Georgetown in the transfer portal this season, rounding out the projected starting lineup.
