Welcome back to the Testudo Times film room. Maryland secured a huge 68-59 road victory over Rutgers on Sunday night to move into a firm position for an NCAA Tournament spot with just three regular season games to go. Maryland has now won four consecutive conference games, the longest win streak of the season, and they all came in one week.
The Terps used a suffocating defensive effort to limit Rutgers and force them to turn the ball over 15 times, resulting in transition opportunities. Not only did the defense show up, as it consistently has down the stretch of the season, but the Terps’ offense impressed Sunday night as well.
