Terps Win 12th Straight, Improve to 10-0 At Comcast Center
After falling in the season opener to then #1 Kentucky 72-69, Maryland basketball has won a dozen straight.
The Terps closed out non-conference play with a 81-63 win over IUPUI at the Comast Center this afternoon. Freshman guard Seth Allen led a balanced Maryland attack with 13 points.
Associated Press voters have shown little respect for the Terps, Maryland getting only five votes, good for 35th in the country in the latest AP Poll. Maryland has had an easy schedule since the opener against the defending national champs, with their only significant win coming against Northwestern in the Big 10/ACC challenge.
Maryland coach Mark Turgeon has turned the program around in a big way and very quickly. The Terps returned only four scholarship players this season, but have a solid ten man rotation featuring two transfers and four highly regarded freshman that were brought on board in the offseason.
ACC play begins on Saturday when Virginia Tech (9-4) visits the Comcast Center for a Noon tipoff.
