After snapping their five-game losing streak with a road win over Nebraska, Maryland will return home to host Penn State on Monday night. The Nittany Lions currently hold a record of 11-12 (6-9), and have won two games in a row over Michigan State and Minnesota.
They lost their two leading scorers from last season to the transfer portal (Izaiah Brockington and Myreon Jones), but added guard Jalen Pickett from Siena who currently leads them in points and assists per game. As a team, they have a 44% field goal percentage and are shooting at a 34% clip from beyond the arc. They're led by their defense, which is the 4th-best unit in the conference.
