3. Maryland Terrapins (9-1)

  • Best win: at Georgetown
  • Worst loss: vs. Pittsburgh

Holders of the league’s best winning percentage, the Terrapins have squeaked out improbable wins game after game it seems. Still, the close calls this team has endured raises question marks about the team and their ability to put together a full 40-minute game.

Regardless, the Terps currently sit with the best record in the Big Ten and have secured wins over Georgetown, Oklahoma State, and Kansas State. Looking at their schedule, Maryland should be entering conference play at 12-1 and when you have an explosive player in Melo Trimble at your disposal, any game is winnable.
