ANALYSIS: While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Maryland has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. Carrying a record of 24-9, they are currently rated #48 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 14 schools in the Big Ten (average ranking 55.9), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference.
Maryland succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 45th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 110 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Maryland has the potential to make you pay if you let them get close to the rim. The team is ranked 34th in the country in near-proximity field goal percentage, making approximately 66.4% of their attempts from up-close vs. AO. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage and makes good on about 47.2% of their total attempts vs. AO. Maryland also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 31.27 vs. AO, they are ranked 47th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 69.9%.
Maryland plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 53rd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 95 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Maryland boasts one of the better overall defensive field goal percentages in the country. The team ranks #40 nationally in field goal percentage allowed, as AO only makes good on about 40.4% of their total attempts from the floor. Maryland is also one of the better teams when it comes to not allowing opponents to convert scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. The squad allows AO to convert only 5.3% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 41st in the NCAA).
Maryland has recently performed below their norm from an efficiency standpoint. The team is currently ranked 313th in the country in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Maryland has played their best basketball this season. The team is currently ranked 19th in the country in the away-from-home metric our site tracks.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
When facing teams that convert well from outside the arc, Maryland often performs better than normal. Maryland is more efficient than usual 77% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive three-point field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 36.60%. In their other contests, Maryland performs better than the norm 40% of the time.
