ESPN college basketball analysts Jay Bilas and Seth Greenberg believe the Maryland men’s basketball team is capable of making a run to the Final Four but caution that the Terps’ guards must shoot better for the team to reach that potential.
“I expected them to be more consistent from the perimeter shooting the ball,” Bilas said on Glenn Clark Radio Feb. 13. “But overall, [they are] one of the best teams in the country and before it’s all said and done [they] could wind up being the best team because we’re in a year where there haven’t been teams that have shown sort of overwhelming power and the ability to out-talent anybody.”
The perimeter players in Maryland’s rotation are all shooting worse than 40 percent from 3-point range heading into its game at Ohio State Feb. 23: senior Anthony Cowan Jr. (35.1 percent), junior Darryl Morsell (35.1), sophomores Aaron Wiggins (30.4) and Eric Ayala (25.6) and freshman Serrel Smith Jr. (25.0).
