Maryland men’s basketball had a nightmarish start to 2023, getting destroyed by Michigan, 81-46, as Big Ten play resumed. It was the largest loss the Terps had suffered since joining the Big Ten.
“There’s nothing, I don’t think there’s anything I can say besides I totally let down this program and these kids, so this is on me,” Maryland head coach Kevin Willard said in his postgame radio interview with Chris Knoche. “This is a total, total failure.”
Michigan had sputtered to start the season, and went into Sunday with a 7-5 record after losing to lowly in-state foe Central Michigan last Thursday.
