'Defensive-minded' Damonte Dodd becoming a more consistent player for Maryland

Coming off a career-high 15-point performance in Saturday’s road win at Michigan, Maryland men's basketball center Damonte Dodd had an even better game in Tuesday’s 75-72 victory over Indiana at Xfinity Center.

Dodd had just six points and six rebounds, but tied a career-high with six blocks and held his counterpart, sophomore Thomas Bryant, to just six points on two of eight shooting.

It was perhaps the most impressive defensive performance of Dodd's college career.

“I’m a defensive-minded person. I just try to come out every day, every game and just play the best defense on whoever I’m guarding, and just help my team in any possible way,” Dodd said after practice Friday.
