MINNESOTA STORYLINES

LAST TIME IN MINNEAPOLIS
  • Maryland is set to return to Williams Arena since its dramatic 17-point second half comeback against the Gophers last season, capped off by Darryl Morsell's miracle 3-pointer from the top of the arc. It was Maryland's greatest comeback since coming back from 19 points down in the 2004 ACC Tournament.

It is the first time since 2003-04 that the Terps have picked up a pair of ranked road wins. Maryland is 4-2 in its last six road games against ranked teams dating back to 2018-19.
