#MillsMafia
  • Andre Mills has been on a tear of late averaging 23.3 points in the last four games thanks to 49.2 percent shooting from the floor and 48.1 percent from beyond the arc (13-of-27). In the last nine games, the redshirt freshman has averaged a team-best 17.2 points per game shooting 49.1 percent (52-of-106) overall and 45.8 percent (22-of-48) from deep. That stretch was highlighted by his career-high 39 points at Northwestern.
  • Mills logged the sixth game this season with 30 or more points by a Terp, joining David Coit, who has four and Pharrel Payne, who had one earlier in the year. 
  • Mills' 39 points tied as the most by a Maryland freshman since Diamond Stone scored 39 against Penn State in 2015 (which is the most by any Terp freshman) and was just the fourth time a Terp freshman has surpassed 30 points in a game since 1994. Mills scored over half of Maryland's points at Northwestern and tied for 10th-most in a game by any Terp in program history.
  • He followed that up with 21 points against Washington. In the final two minutes against the Huskies, he scored all of Maryland's seven points including the go-ahead triple to seal the win.

Diggy, Diggy, Diggy Can't You See ...
  • Diggy Coit has proven to be a walking bucket or as head coach Buzz Williams has said - "put up videogame numbers." Twice this season, he has scored 40-or-more points including a career-high and XFINITY Center all-time record 43 points against Penn State. That total was just one shy of matching Ernie Graham's 44 points against NC State in 1978 as the program's single-game scoring record.
  • Coit also scored 41 against Mount St. Mary's this season. He is only the second player in program history to score 40-or-more points in a season alongside Gene Shue (1952-53).
  • As part of his 43 points against Penn State, Coit also tied the program and XFINITY Center records for single-game three pointers (alongside Mike Jones vs. UMKC, 12/13/06). His 15 three-point field goal attempts against Penn State tied Maryland's single-game record alongside Greivis Vasquez who was in attendance.
  • Among active NCAA players, Coit is just the third to have multiple 40-point games joining Treysen Eaglestaff (2) of North Dakota and Dior Johnson (2) of Tarleton State. He is the only Big Ten player to have multiple 40-point games.
  • Since 1996-97, he is one of 14 major conference players to have multiple 40 point games in a single season and the first since 2019-20.
  • Coit is the first Big Ten player since Purdue's Carsen Edwards (3 in 2018-19) with multiple 40-point games in a season.

Solo Making An Impact
  • After missing the first eight games of the season due to injury, Solomon Washington has given a veteran presence to the line-up since his return at the start of December. The senior is averaging 10.3 points and 9.9 rebounds in his 19 games played.
  • Washington made his Maryland debut on Dec. 2 against Wagner where he had 10 points and six rebounds.
  • He had his first double-double as a Terp with 13 points and a career-high 13 rebounds against Old Dominion. That marked the second straight game he had double-figure rebounds (12 vs. Virginia).
  • Washington produced three-straight double-doubles in the games against Rutgers, Northwestern, and Washington with 11 points and 14 rebounds in each.
  • Washington is looking to average a double-double for a season for the 23rd time in program history dating back to 1954-55.
