New Look Terps
- The 107th edition will feature a nearly brand new squad from the 2024-25 Sweet Sixteen team. Of the 16 players on the roster, 15 are new including five true freshmen. Junior guard Lukas Sotell is the lone returner on the 2025-26 roster.
- Maryland's roster does feature a mix of high-level players with significant experience. Pharrel Payne and Myles Rice have been consistent starters throughout their career and bring experience in the Big Ten. Elijah Saunders was part of the San Diego State team that reached a national championship game in 2022-23. Solomon Washington helped Coach Buzz Williams and Texas A&M reach three consecutive NCAA Tournaments – a first for the program.
- With a completely new roster build from last season, the Terps heavily relied on the transfer portal which ranked as the 7th-best portal class in the country.
