US EditionFlorida Gators square off against the Maryland Terrapins in Sweet 16
- The Maryland Terrapins and Florida Gators will compete in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in San Francisco on Thursday at 7:39 p.m. EDT, marking their first meeting of the season.
- Maryland, with an overall record of 27-8 and 15-7 against Big Ten teams, ranks fourth in the Big Ten, while Florida boasts a 32-4 record overall and 17-4 against the SEC.
- Florida's offense is potent, averaging 85.4 points per game and shooting 47.3% from the field, led by Walter Clayton Jr., who averages 17.9 points, while Maryland averages 77.8 points per game and allows opponents to shoot 41.3% from the field.
- Maryland coach Willard highlighted Walter Clayton Jr.'s resilience, stating, "When you watch him on film, what I love about him, if he misses three in a row, his body language, it don't matter."
- With Florida's strong offensive rebounding and fast-break capabilities, Maryland's best chance to win relies on limiting turnovers and controlling the defensive glass, as their defensive-rebounding rate has recently declined, and a slow start could be detrimental.
