Zach. Edey (7-foot-2, Senior, C) - National player of the year candidate averaging a team-high 21.3 points, a team-high 13.0 rebounds and a team-high 2.3 blocks per game.
Maryland
Jahmir Young (6-foot-1, Senior, PG) - Averaging a team-high 15.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and a team-high 2.8 assists per game.
Don Carey (6-foot-5, Senior, SG) - Averaging 7.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Hakim Hart (6-foot-8, Senior, G/F) - Averaging 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a team-high 1.2 steals per game.
Donta Scott (6-foot-8, Senior, F) - Averaging 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

The Terps continued their winning ways at home last week, avenging an earlier road loss to Michigan by beating the Wolverines in College Park 64-58 and remaining undefeated versus Big Ten opponents inside Xfinity Center. The Terps' road woes also continued last week, as they fell to the Hawkeyes in Iowa City last Sunday by a score of 81-67. It was the Terps' fourth straight conference road loss.
Maryland is back out on the road again this Sunday, where they will face No. 3 Purdue in West Lafayette. The Boilermakers will pose the Terps' biggest challenge, both figuratively and literally, as they are led by 7-foot-2 national player of the year candidate Zach Edey. The Canadian big man is averaging a double-double and leads the No. 3 Boilermakers in points and rebounds. He is also an elite rim protector averaging a team-high 2.3 blocks per game, which currently ranks 18th nationally.
"Now we gotta go play against, I think, the most dominant center in college basketball," Willard said of Edey following the Terps' win over Michigan.
Perhaps the biggest revelation following the Terps' win over Michigan was the play of 7-foot Canadian freshman Caelum Swanton-Rodger, who finished with 4 points and 3 rebounds in just seven minutes of action, including a dunk over Michigan All-American center Hunter Dickinson. The Terps will likely rely on Swanton-Rodger once again Sunday to help a now-healthy Julian Reese try to defend Purdue's front court of Edey and Caleb Furst.
