No. 7 Maryland men’s basketball started its 2019-20 season Friday night with a 76-43 exhibition win over Fayetteville State.
The Terps had a few positive and negative moments, but here are our biggest takeaways from the first unofficial win of the year.
1. The Terps were in their zone.
Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon had said a few times prior to the start of the season that his team would play more zone.
During Friday night’s exhibition, those words came to fruition. A few times, including after the under-12 and under-8 minute timeouts, the Terps would orchestrate their defense into a stretch 3-2 zone.
