Maryland leads Oregon, 33-12, at halftime. Not a typo. Oregon had one of the worst halves of basketball you'll ever see. 3-of-22 from the field, and all 3 makes were Nate Bittle layups. But the Terps are contesting nearly everything.


Diggy Coit had an open look in the corner, and sunk a 3-pointer to bring Illinois down to a one-point lead. One problem: Buzz Williams called timeout when the ball got to Coit. Inexplicable decision, and Maryland now needs to do it again. Illinois 74, Maryland 70 | 0:38 2H


HALFTIME: No. 11 Illinois 37, Maryland 34 The Terps held up admirably against KenPom's highest-rated offense in the country. Illinois is 4-of-16 from deep, and Keaton Wagler was held completely scoreless. Andre Mills is once again leading the charge with 11 points, but Maryland is getting contributions from up and down the rotation.

There’s scouts from 7 NBA teams in attendance today, in large part because of star Illinois freshman Keaton Wagler. But they’re being shown redshirt freshman Andre Mills’ deep offensive skillset instead — while he also plays a big role in holding Wagler scoreless thus far.
