Last year Maryland had the worst defense in the ACC. That defense allowed an average of 70.7 points per game, and dropped Maryland to an eighth place finish in the ACC last year. The Terrapins finished with a conference record of just 6-10. But things could turn around this season as Maryland was picked to finish sixth in the con- ference. If coach Mark Turgeon has his way, things will be quite dth file photo different for the Terrapins UNC sophomore forward Desmond Hubert dunks over senior this season. forward Milton Jennings.
