The film from the Maryland men’s basketball team’s first meeting with Rutgers, on Dec. 14, 2020, was so old that coach Mark Turgeon wasn’t sure how much would his players would benefit from revisiting it.
Since the 74-60 loss at Xfinity Center in both teams’ first Big Ten Conference game of the season, Maryland had grown, buying into a collective defensive approach and learning how to move the ball and play inside-out with its undersized lineups.
The Terps showed their growth at the Rutgers Athletic Center in Piscataway, New Jersey, beating the Scarlet Knights, 68-59, on Sunday afternoon.
