Welcome back to the Testudo Times film room. Maryland men’s basketball suffered its worst defeat of the season Tuesday night at the hands of the No. 7 Michigan Wolverines, 87-63. From opening tip until the final buzzer, Michigan was in complete control.
The Wolverines shot 50% from three-point range, while the Terps shot just 21%. Offensively, Maryland could not keep up with Michigan’s high-octane offense. Head Coach Mark Turgeon’s squad saw only four triples hit the back of the net, tied for a season-low for the Terps.
Turgeon came into the matchup with a clear game plan: double Michigan’s star big man Hunter Dickinson and make it difficult for him around the rim.
