Maryland Men’s Basketball Faces Shocking Setback Against No. 12 Nebraska: What Went Wrong?

Some of the changes have come from individuals. Andre Mills was 1-of-8 from the floor and scored five points in 15 minutes against the Spartans. A month later, his 19 points against Nebraska were almost a disappointment — he’d cleared 20 in three of his last four games.

But Williams has also seemed to figure out how to get this team to work. Starters from the Jan. 24 starting lineup in Isaiah Watts and Diggy Coit have been replaced by Mills and Collin Metcalf. Not only have they played better themselves, but they also have allowed the players around them to play better.

Solomon Washington is far better suited moving out from directly under the rim, and Elijah Saunders is best not being near the rim at all — his career-high five 3-pointers kept Maryland afloat while Mills warmed up.

And defensively, the team seemed to know what it was doing — certainly more than it did against the Spartans, whose 60.7% shooting night from the field was the team’s best since 2023.
