24. Maryland Terrapins

Previous ranking: N/A

Record: 16-2 (4-1 Big Ten)

I’ve been skeptical of Maryland all year, but it might be time to give the Terps a chance in the top 25. They beat Indiana and took a road game at Illinois last week to stand atop the Big Ten standings.

Melo Trimble has been great this year as he is averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. He has some solid support from Anthony Cowan (11.1 points, 4.4 rebounds), Justin Jackson (10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds) and Michal Cekovsky (10.0 points). Overall, the Terrapins are mediocre offensively, but coach Mark Turgeon has his team where they are because of solid defense. Keep an eye on this young team to see if they can maintain focus.
