As the new year begins, the University of Maryland and head coach Buzz Williams are still searching for that first Big Ten win. The Terrepins suffered a 64-54 loss against the No. 18 Oregon Ducks who now have their first in conference victory of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the score gap was minor, it was easy to see that Maryland struggled during the game to put points on the board. The Terrepins only completed 18-65 field goals and went 20% from the three, making this one of the worst shooting games of their season. Although Maryland could not get points on the board consistently, they showed dominance in other areas, forcing turnovers and shooting 79% from the free throw line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maryland\u2019s go-to scorer went ghost from the start, as the game opened with shooting 4-21. The Terps only trailed by seven at the end of the first half, keeping up hope of achieving their first 2026 win alive. But further into the game, Maryland got bullied by Oregon’s bigs in the paint which ultimately made shooting from the arc look like the only option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
