Maryland Basketball Home Court Streak Shattered?

Maryland's storied home-court advantage at the Xfinity Center, established in 2002, is on the verge of a significant historical shift. The Terrapins are facing the real possibility of a losing home record this season, a situation not encountered in the venue's 24-year history. If they lose their regular-season finale, it will mark the first time since the 1988-89 season at the old Cole Fieldhouse that Maryland has finished with a sub-.500 record at home.

This potential decline is compounded by a significant drop in attendance. Averaging 12,689 tickets sold per game, the Terps are seeing their lowest attendance figures since moving into the Xfinity Center. Empty seats have become a common sight, reflecting a challenging year for the team under Head Coach Buzz Williams. The program has already set a record for most conference losses and doubled its number of 30+ point losses this century.
