When Maryland point guard Melo Trimble hit a game-winning 3-point basket at Wisconsin Jan. 9, it was probably tough for most fans to envision Trimble back with the Terps for his junior season.
Trimble, after all, was the biggest key to Maryland's recent transformation under head coach Mark Turgeon, who often lauds Trimble as simply being a "winner." Trimble could get to the basket and the line for easy points, shoot the 3-pointer, handle the ball, distribute and make those around him better.
But a switch flipped for Trimble during the second half of the season. He didn't shoot well. He wasn't exploding to the rim. He wasn't getting to the line as much. As Trimble struggled during conference play, Maryland's offense bogged down at times, and the rest of the pieces on the team didn't fit together as well as was originally hoped.
