University of Maryland's Tall Players Outshine Opponents, Washington in Adjusting Phase

Despite being a skilled player, Osobor is at a height disadvantage compared to Julian Reese and Derik Queen, standing at 6-8. The University of Maryland possesses two talented big men and has surrounded them with proficient shooters such as Gillespie (42.9% 3pt) and Selton Miguel (41.5% 3pt). Although the Terps have faced opponents with varying caliber, they have demonstrated competitiveness against high-major teams, coming close to victory in challenging matches against Purdue and Marquette. On the other hand, Washington, with a new coaching staff, may require a year to adjust to the competitive environment of the Big 10 conference.
