Link: Maryland preview
Maryland is an injury-depleted four-star squad with a short bench. Point guard Anthony Cowan is an All-Big Ten, dynamic guard that shoots very well. Freshman shooting guard Darryl Morsell is a tough, physical guard that attacks the basket but is a very poor jump shooter. Small forward Kevin Huerter is one of the best three-point shooters in the country. I would think Jamir will start again after his performance against Penn State but Maryland's perimeter lineup makes Michael Hurt a better fit in some ways. Power forward Bruno Fernando is a strong, physical, athletic freshman that's effective near the basket and may try to get Murphy in foul trouble right away. Center Michal Cekovsky is 7'1" and has good touch at the basket and some pick and pop game. With injuries and suspensions, it will be important for both teams to stay out of foul trouble and for their stars to step up to the plate.
