Welcome back to the Testudo Times film room. Maryland men’s basketball pulled off another upset win on the road over a ranked opponent, this time against No. 17 Minnesota, 63-49. This is the third victory over a ranked opponent on the road this season for Maryland, marking the first time a team has done so in program history.
The Terps never trailed in the game, asserting themselves defensively right from the opening tip. After a lackluster defensive performance against Michigan, head coach Mark Turgeon’s squad was energetic, active and contesting everything on the defensive end. The Terps held Minnesota to a season low in points and the Gophers shot just 30% from the field and 21% from three.
