Maryland men’s basketball is breaking records, but not the kind of records that many people expected this preseason top-25 team to do 14 games into the regular season slate.
Through three conference games, the Terps remain winless in Big Ten play. Maryland fell to Northwestern in Danny Manning’s first game as interim head coach, then to Iowa in its first true road game, followed by a crushing 12-point defeat to a strong and a likely soon-to-be ranked Illinois team on Thursday night.
“It’s about this road swing that we’ve been on, we’ve shown we can compete, now we’ve got to do a better job of finishing,” Manning said after the Illinois game.
