Freshman Derik Queen recorded his fourth double-double of the season tonight, and Ja’Kobi Gillespie was the high-scorer with 23 points in this game. There were five Terps with double-digit points against Ohio State tonight.

Head coach Kevin Willard was pleased with what he saw of his team. With nine games in the books and a revamped roster, Willard is making his tweaks in every game.

Game #5 Terps trying to get to 4-1

The Maryland Terrapins began their 2024-2025 men’s basketball season with a 3-0 record, before dropping a nailbiter against 15th ranked Marquette in a game that Maryland led for so much of the game. Now, Maryland is 3-1 and taking on Canisius in a game that Maryland is favored by 31.5 point.

For the first time dating back through 1980-81, Maryland has had four different 20-point scorers through the first four games of the year. For the 2024-25 season, only five Division I teams have accomplished this: Maryland, Northeastern, Prairie View A&M, UIW, and Tennessee State. In the Big Ten, this is the sixth time it has happened over the last decade (back to 2014-15): Maryland, Michigan (2023-24), Illinois (2022-23), Purdue (2021-22, 2017-18), and Northwestern (2015-16). For the Terps, Derik Queen opened the year with 22 points against Manhattan before adding his second 20-point effort with 24 against No. 15 Marquette. Rodney Rice had 28 against Mount St. Mary’s, while Julian Reese had 21 points against Florida A&M. Ja’Kobi Gillespie became the fourth player to hit the mark with 24 points (matching Queen) against No. 15 Marquette. The last time this happened for Maryland was 1980-81: Buck Williams (27 vs Navy), Ernie Graham (21 vs. American), Greg Manning Sr. (29 vs. Wagner), Albert King/Williams/Manning (21/20/21 vs. Syracuse)

Head coach Kevin Willard is getting to see many looks to his newly configured team, and certainly is getting a lot from Rice off the bench as his 50-points lead all reserves in the Big-Ten. Maryland has won 18 consecutive against un-ranked non-conference foes.
