Takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s win over South Alabama

Maryland men’s basketball improved to .500 with a 68-55 win over South Alabama on Saturday. The game was close entering the second half, but the Terps (3-3) pulled away for the victory.

Here are three takeaways from the game.

Three-point shooting is a serious problem

Maryland’s three-point shooting was a concern heading into the season, but it’s been even worse than expected. On Saturday, the Terps shot 31 threes and made only five — their worst showing thus far.

This season, Maryland is shooting only 21.4 percent from distance. Per KenPom.
