Terps Host Hoosiers For Final Regular-Season Home Game

Indiana leads the all-time series 13-9 and but the Terps are 5-3 in College Park.
Maryland has two Quad 1 wins on the year, four Quad 2 wins, and has four road wins (2nd-best in the Big Ten). Despite being 2-8 in Quad 1 games, the Terps have had four decided by one possession or overtime (1-3).
This is currently the fourth time since 2017-18 that Maryland has ranked in the Top 50 of Division I in points per game allowed (19th) and field-goal percentage allowed (47th). That is tied with Rutgers and Virginia for the second-most seasons by any major conference team in that span (Tennessee – 5).
Maryland is holding its opponents to 27.1 percent shooting from three-point range in the second halves of games this season, second best among major conference teams (Mississippi State – 27.0) and seventh best in Division I.

DeShawn Harris-Smith has averaged 10.8 points per game in the last five outings.

Fear The Jahmir

After a standout season in 2022-23, Jahmir Young, one of the top point guards in the country, has racked up the preseason accolades. He has been named to the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 and is a member of the Bob Cousy Award Watch List as well. Young was also a unanimous selection to the Preseason All-Big Ten Team, the first unanimous pick for Maryland since Cowan in 2019.
Additionally, Young picked up Preseason All-America honors from Blue Ribbon and Lindy's, while The Field of 68 had him on the All-Big Ten Preseason Team and ranked him as the No. 35 of 100 top players nationally entering 2023-24.
Last season, Young was a second team All-Big Ten selection, was named to the USBWA All-District Team, and selected to the NABC All-District Second Team. Additionally, he was chosen as the Pigskin Club of Washington Collegiate Player of the Year.
Young became just the sixth NCAA player since 2006 to post 1,000 points at two different institutions after scoring 16 points against Rutgers.
Young has also become the fifth Maryland player to score 1,000 points in just two seasons, joining Joe Smith (1,290), Tom McMillen (1,283), Melo Trimble (1,102) and Terrell Stroglin (1,066).
Young is the third-fastest Terp to score 1,000 career points, having done so in 57 games when he reached the mark against Rutgers.
Young is also looking to become the first Terp since Greivis Vasquez in 2009-10 to average over 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game.Young currently averages 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Only five other Big Ten players since 1992-93 have averaged a similar stat line including Trayce Jackson-Davis (Indiana, 2022-23) and Michael Finley (Wisconsin, 1994-95).

Jahmir Young is a member of the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50, the Bob Cousy Watch List, and was a unanimous pick to the preseason All-B1G Team.

JuJu Beast

After a breakout sophomore campaign that saw Julian Reese become one of the top big men in the Big Ten, the Baltimore native enters 2023-24 with high praise. Reese joined Jahmir Young on the Preseason All-Big Ten Team and was named to the Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award Watch List.
Reese showed his impact for the Terps in 2022-23 as he scored in double-figures in 22 games with a career-high 24 points against Coppin State. He had seven double-doubles on the year including 17 points, 12 rebounds at Ohio State.
Had one of his best league outings going toe-to-toe with Purdue's Big Ten Player of the Year Zach Edey where Reese scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting while adding three rebounds and committing zero turnovers.
Reese finished 2022-23 tied for second on the team in scoring at 11.4 points and led the Terps in rebounds (7.2).
In two NCAA Tournament games last year, Reese averaged 15.5 points against West Virginia and No. 1 Alabama.
His 63.2 field goal percentage last season stands as the third-best mark in Maryland program history for a single season.

Scott joins Lonny Baxter (1,858 & 998), Tom McMillen (1,807 & 859), Keith Booth (1,776 & 916) and Terence Morris (1,733 & 925) in this elite group of Terps.
Scott is now 15th all-time in scoring and needs 12 points to move past Melo Trimble (1658, 2014-17) for 14th. He needs 13 more boards to pass Tom McMillen (859, 1971-74) for No. 8 all-time.
Additionally, thanks to his fifth season, Scott has set the games played (158), games started (142), and minutes played (4,671) records surpassing Juan Dixon/Jake Layman (141), Steve Blake (136), and Greivis Vasquez (4568), respectively.
