ORLANDO, Fla. — Maryland men’s basketball, now ranked the No. 3 team in the nation, did exactly what it needed to do during Feast Week.
While the Orlando Invitational isn’t a marquee event by any stretch of the imagination, the field — which included several NCAA Tournament prospects — still served as a potential speed bump for the Terps’ undefeated start to the season.
But Mark Turgeon’s team flew down to Florida and took care of business, sweeping the weekend to claim the tournament championship. After squeaking by its first two opponents due to slow starts, Maryland finally put everything together for its first complete, 40-minute game of the season in the 84-83 blowout of Marquette.
