Maryland men’s basketball blew past Alcorn State on Tuesday, 105-65. Six Terps scored in double figures as the team shot 52.7% from the field.
Here are some takeaways from the Terps’ emphatic victory.
Outside shooting opened up the offense
Maryland is no longer the second-worst 3-point shooting team in Division I.
The Terps had been glaringly unable to hit shots from distance prior to Tuesday’s game, but rattled home 14 makes on 30 attempts against the Braves. Seven Terps finished with a made three.
“I knew it was only a matter of time until we started shooting the ball better,” Maryland head coach Kevin Willard said.
