Three Keys:
- Dominate the glass: Maryland isn't great on the glass on either end, and they are close to genuinely bad at ending defensive stops there. Xavier crushes the offensive glass even against teams that rebound well, they must leave the Terps no breathing room here.
- Shoot from deep: X hasn't shot well behind the arc this year, but the sledding could be tough inside today. JP getting hot or Trevon finding the range early would open up the inside and force the Terrapins into defending deeper than they'd like.
- Don't dig a hole: Maryland's defense isn't all around great, but they do keep teams from shooting well. Xavier can't get behind and then hope to gun their way back into it. Also, none of us can handle that kind of stress.
