Series History
- Maryland is 17-3 all-time against Minnesota including 7-2 on the road.
- From Jan. 2018 through March 2023, the Terps won 10 straight meetings in the series.
- One of the most dramatic games in the series came at Williams Arena in 2020 when Darryl Morsell hit the go-ahead three pointer with 1.9 seconds remaining to lift the Terps to a 74-73 win. Maryland mounted a furious second-half comeback to erase a 16-point deficit at the break.
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 10.2 points and 8.7 rebounds in his 14 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).
- His other double-doubles this year including 17 points/12 rebounds against Oregon and 13 points/10 rebounds at No. 11 Illinois.
- Washington is looking to average a double-double for a season for the 23rd time in program history dating back to 1954-55.
Palpable Buzz
