After a promising debut that wound up winning a game in the Big Dance, this season has been a step backwards for Kevin Willard at Maryland. Only Michigan is beneath the Terps in the Big Ten table, as the lineup has lacked consistency beyond former Charlotte transfer G Jahmir Young (20.9 ppg). Shooting three-pointers like wearing blindfolds (28.5%) hasn't helped. Penn State has accomplished a bit more for new HC Mike Rhoades and his various portal adds, including making a nice fortress out of Happy Valley (whether at the Bryce Jordan Center, like today, or old Rec Hall vs. Illinois in February), winning 4 of the last 6 outright as host, and now 7-2-1 overall vs. the line the last ten.
