hhcmatt Posted January 28, 2023 Report Posted January 28, 2023 Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-11) vs Maryland Terrapins (13-7) Date: January 28th, 2023 Time: 3:30 pm Arena: XFINITY Center Broadcast: BTN Maryland Info Head Coach: Kevin Willard Location: College Park, MDConference: B1G 10Nickname: Terrapins, TerpsMascots: Testudo Typical Rotation Depth: 7+ KenPom rank: 33 A couple of Famous Alumni: Juan Dixon, Len Elmore Other: Nebraska won't stop home between this game and their next game at Illinois This is former Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard's first season at Maryland It's coaches vs cancer week so expect both coaches to be wearing suits and sneakers KenPom Analysis: A bit like Northwestern, Maryland isn't a great shooting team but makes up for it through shot volume. Maryland is the type of team that hunts offensive boards and tries to fastbreak. Player to watch: G Jahmir Young The Charlotte transfer has always been a dynamic scorer and is one of the highest usage players in the conference. Three level scorer is the key to Maryland's success.

Such is life. The Terrapins are going to press up the court not so much as to turn you over as to run shot clock. They'll fall back into either man or zone. Nebraska's offense might be in for a longer day than usual if they can't figure it out. Maryland's a poor shooting 3pt team so it will be about trying not to foul and securing defensive rebounds. Nebraska tends to bounce back after poor outings so look for them to hang with Maryland for a while. Prediction: Maryland 74 - Nebraska 61 View full article Quote
