Maryland men's basketball began the season 0-4 on the road, but Kevin Willard's squad has been one of the better road teams as of late and the Terrapins notched another road win on Wednesday. This time it came against Michigan basketball at Crisler Center. The Terrapins would take an 11-point lead into the break and Michigan would make a run to cut the deficit to four points, but Maryland held strong and took down the Wolverines, 71-65.

Michigan turned the ball over 16 times and the Terrapins capitalized with 21 points off turnovers. The Terrapins also hauled in 11 offensive rebounds wih 17 second-chance points. Rodney Rice led the way scoring 19 points and both Derek Queen and Selton Miguel scored 17 each.

Kevin Willard is going to enjoy this win, but guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie scored just eight points and Julian Reese helped out with six. Maryland is going to need to fix its percentages moving forward, but any road win is big in the Big Ten.

Here's what social media thought of Maryland's big win.

Make that 5️⃣ road wins for the Terps!

See you at XFINITY on Saturday.

Huge road win for Maryland in Ann Arbor over Michigan.

Terps not overly deep, but Kevin Willard's starting group can stack up to most teams.

They have now won 10 of last 12.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie (Belmont) has rightfully gotten a ton of credit as one of top transfer adds, but…

Maryland is going to be a trendy pick to break open a bracket on Selection Sunday.

And the Terps are capable of doing just that.

Best team that this program has had since 2020. https://t.co/EY31Og4c0y
