It’s an unusual Maryland men’s basketball team playing an unusual college basketball season, and at times, that seems to be the only way to explain the state of the Terps.
There is no ball-dominant point guard to rescue the team from wasted possessions as the shot clock expires. There is no towering presence to dominate the paint; the tallest player in coach Mark Turgeon’s rotation often stands no bigger than 6-foot-9.
