On March 4, Melo Trimble hit a game-winning three with 1.1 seconds left against Michigan State in Maryland’s final game of the regular season.
The Terrapins’ home crowd was euphoric. “One more year, one more year,” they chanted, hopeful that their leading scorer three-years running would choose to stay in school for a fourth. Trimble, though, already knew what they didn’t: that that shot would be his last at XFINITY Center.
Later that month, Trimble declared for the NBA draft and quickly signed with an agent, barring any potential return as a senior. Though College Park has lost him to the NBA, it’s possible hometown fans won’t have to travel far to keep up with the 6-3 guard.
