With a 95-71 victory over Holy Cross on Tuesday, the Maryland men’s basketball season is officially underway.
The No. 7 Terps took care of business against the Crusaders, thanks in part to four players — Jalen Smith, Darryl Morsell, Anthony Cowan Jr. and Eric Ayala — scoring in double figures.
While everyone received the first look at Mark Turgeon’s team Tuesday, a game against a Patriot League — arguably the worst conference in Division I — opponent doesn’t give too much insight into the group’s potential. Rhode Island isn’t a powerhouse, but the Atlantic-10 member should provide a competitive matchup against Maryland.
