COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland s potential revealed itself at Xfinity Center on Sunday night. The Terrapins have struggled at times this season - sometimes because their offense becomes stagnant and ineffective, occasionally because their defense has not played at its best. But early in their game against Minnesota, the Terps best qualities converged and they looked dominant.
And when Minnesota charged back, trimming the Terps lead to six points with three minutes to go, junior guard Aaron Wiggins nailed a three-pointer to help Maryland reclaim the cushion it held much of the game. Maryland went on to a 72-59 win, another crucial piece to the team s NCAA tournament résumé.
