Terps Seek Bounce-Back Against Wagner
1 Dec
Summary
- Maryland basketball looks to rebound after tough Las Vegas tournament losses.
- Wagner excels in three-point shooting but struggles with turnovers.
- Key players like Nick Jones and Myles Rice will be crucial for their teams.
Maryland men's basketball is returning home to College Park after a challenging week in Las Vegas, where they faced tough opponents like No. 8 Alabama and No. 12 Gonzaga. Despite experiencing significant point deficits in those matchups, head coach Buzz Williams gained valuable insights into his team's areas for improvement before conference play begins.
The Terps' next challenge comes against Wagner, a team that has shown mixed results this season. Wagner has demonstrated proficiency in three-point shooting, leading their conference, but also grapples with a poor turnover margin. This presents an opportunity for Maryland to exploit Wagner's weaknesses while being wary of their long-range threats.
Key players to watch include Wagner's leading scorer Nick Jones and sharpshooter Eddie Placer, alongside Maryland's transfer guard Myles Rice, who seeks a bounce-back performance. The game, scheduled for Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Big Ten Network, will be a crucial test for Maryland as they aim to regain momentum.
