With the addition of three new starters (Robert Carter Jr., Rasheed Sulaimon and Diamond Stone), the third-ranked Terps have gone through some growing pains in the early stages of the campaign in an effort to build chemistry. Maryland needs to get a better effort from its reserves, as the bench put up a collective nine points in the aforementioned tilt versus Georgetown.

One area Rider will need to improve in is getting to the free throw line. The Broncs have managed just 14 trips to the charity stripe in their Sportsbook two contests.
