There is quite a bit to talk about when looking back on No. 14 Maryland’s (23-6, 11-6 Big Ten) last two games, even though they were expected blowout wins over teams near the bottom of the Big Ten. The Terps defeated Purdue 99-66 last Sunday and Northwestern 79-57 on Wednesday. Each member of the rotation […]
