Raptors to host predraft workout with projected first-round pick Zach Edey

Projected first-round pick Zach Edey is among six draft prospects who will attend a predraft workout with the Raptors.

Projected first-round pick Zach Edey is among six draft prospects who will attend a predraft workout with the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, according to Samson Folk of Raptors Republic.

Edey led the Boilermakers to the national title game after averaging 25.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and two assists on 62.3% shooting from the field. He became the first player in over 50 years to be named Player of the Year unanimously in consecutive seasons.

The 7-footer will be joined by Washington forward Keion Brooks Jr., Clemson guard Joseph Girard III, TCU forward Emanuel Miller, Florida forward Tyrese Samuel and Maryland guard Jahmir Young in the workout in Toronto.

Edey, who was born in Toronto, is projected to be a first-round pick, given his ability to dominate in the paint and protect the rim. He is one of the most accomplished collegiate players in history and affected winning at a high level.

His draft range is currently 14-22, based on numerous mock drafts. Questions remain about how he can be utilized at the next level as a traditional center, but the All-American has proven himself to be a worthy selection at this stage in the draft.

The workout with the Raptors is the first known visit for Edey. He will also reportedly work out with the New Orleans Pelicans and likely other teams in his range.

The 2024 NBA draft will take place June 26-27 in New York City.

Rutgers men’s basketball struggles offensively in loss to Maryland

Rutgers basketball had a bad loss on Sunday against Maryland.

On Sunday afternoon, Rutgers men’s basketball welcomed the Maryland Terrapins to Jersey Mike’s Arena and struggled offensively. In the second matchup of the season between these two programs, the Terrapins recorded a 63-46 win.

With the loss, Rutgers is now 14-13 (6-10 Big Ten).

As Maryland was able to get their revenge, Julian Reese set the tone offensively. The Baltimore native added 20 points and six rebounds to his resume. He got some help from Jahmir Young, who scored 12 points and dished out nine assists.

While Rutgers had thrived at home entering this matchup, they could not make clutch shots when needed. The Scarlet Knights only scored seven points in the final seven minutes of play. Maryland also had a knack for going on extended scoring runs whenever Rutgers made it close.

 

 

Although Sunday ended in disappointing fashion for Rutgers, there were a few bright spots. That includes Aundre Hyatt, who scored 13 points while adding three rebounds to his resume. He was the only Rutgers player who scored more than ten points.

With only one game left in February, Rutgers will need to play a lot better against Michigan. The Wolverines have struggled this year, but they will be motivated to add another conference win to their resume. Struggling to put the ball in the basket like they did against Maryland could be fatal.

Rutgers will welcome the Wolverines to Jersey Mike’s Arena on February 29.

Rutgers men’s basketball vs Maryland: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

In a Big Ten matchup between two teams with 14 wins, Maryland will be looking for revenge.

With February winding down, Rutgers men’s basketball will welcome the Maryland Terrapins to Jersey Mike’s Arena on Sunday afternoon. In a Big Ten matchup between two teams with 14 wins, Maryland will be looking for revenge.

When these two programs faced each other earlier this month, Rutgers emerged with a 56-53 win. Since then, Maryland has posted a 1-3 record. As they look to get back in the win column, the Terrapins will have their hands full against a motivated Rutgers team that includes Clifford Omoruyi.

After a slow start to the month, Omoruyi has scored at least 10 points in two of his last four games. In that span, he added 33 rebounds to his resume. In order for Maryland to add another conference win to their resume, they will need to limit Omoruyi’s impact on the boards.

With both teams hungry for a win, this game should be full of fireworks.

Rutgers men’s basketball looking to get back In the win column against Maryland

Rutgers basketball is looking to break a two-game slide on Sunday against Maryland.

On Sunday afternoon, Rutgers men’s basketball will be looking to return to their winning ways against Maryland. The Scarlet Knights are set to welcome the Terrapins to Jersey Mike’s for a Big Ten matchup between two teams with 14 wins.

After entering February at the bottom of the Big Ten standings, Rutgers has seen their positioning improve due to better play. They have four conference wins this month. One of those came against No.11 Wisconsin. They have also already beaten Maryland once this month.

 

Mawot Mag led the way offensively for Rutgers in the previous matchup between these two teams, scoring 15 points. He also got some help from Jeremiah Williams, who scored 14 points and hauled in five rebounds. Against a Maryland team looking for revenge, Rutgers will need their talented duo to have a big game.

Additionally, Rutgers will be tasked with stopping Jahmir Young. The Terrapins star is averaging 21.1 points and five rebounds a game. In Marlyland’s loss to Wisconsin on Tuesday, he scored 20 points.

While this game should be full of fireworks, making big stops will be essential to Rutgers success. On Thursday, they were outscored in both halves and allowed 30 points in the paint to Purdue. Against Maryland, those mistakes will be fatal.

This game represents a perfect chance for Rutgers to build on its success in the Big Ten before taking on a Michigan team with only eight wins to close out the month.

After a brief vacation, Rutgers men’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday night against Maryland

After a brief vacation, Rutgers men’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday night against Maryland. The Scarlet Knights are 1-0 in February, with their only win coming against Michigan.

Hey, following what has been a difficult season, 1-0 February is a good thing.

Tuesday represents an excellent opportunity for them to improve their Big Ten record.

To win on the road, Rutgers will need Aundre Hyatt and Clifford Omoruyi to have big games. Hyatt, in particular, will need to step up after only scoring four points against Michigan. Omoruyi fared much better as he added 15 points to his resume.

 

While Rutgers will look to build on their success, they have a challenging task ahead. The Terrapins are 10-2 at the XFINITY Center and are much better at home. That will make it hard for them to stop, as Rutgers has struggled on the road.

Regardless of the outcome, this game should be full of fireworks. Conference wins are at a premium and both teams have plenty to prove.

Rutgers men’s basketball searching for fourth conference win against Maryland

Rutgers basketball faces a huge game midweek at Maryland.

After starting February with a win on Saturday at Michigan, Rutgers men’s basketball will look to continue their success against Maryland on February 6. The Scarlet Knights only have three conference wins this season but beat Michigan in convincing fashion over the weekend.

However, they will take on a Terrapins team with plenty to prove. So far this season, Jahmir Young has set the tone offensively for Maryland. He is averaging a team-high 20.9 points per game. He has gotten some help from Julian Reese, who has been a force in the paint.

Rutgers is now 11-10 (3-7 Big Ten) on the season.

 

Although Rutgers will have their hands full, Maryland will be tasked with stopping Derek Simpson, who is coming off one of his best performances of the season. Against Michigan, he led Rutgers in scoring with 19 points. He also went 2-3 from three-point range.

[lawrence-related id=34997,34995]

While Maryland is heavily favored in this game, it represents a perfect opportunity for Rutgers to end their road woes. They are 2-5 away from Jersey Mike’s Arena this season. Maryland has thrived at home with a 10-2 record.

[lawrence-related id=34993,34976]

As the end of the regular season inches closer, wins are at a premium for both teams. That has made this Tuesday night matchup more critical. Rutgers will be eager to prove themselves with a lot on the line.

Camren Wynter’s last-second shot lifts Penn State over Maryland

Penn State basketball got a big boost for its tournament hopes with a thrilling win over Maryland.

March has treated Penn State very well. On the first of the month, they beat Northwestern at the buzzer in overtime. They followed up that ending with another buzzer beater against Maryland to win 65-64.

It was a great ending for the many seniors that played their last game in the Bryce Jordan Center.

Senior Night is always an emotional game for any program. It was especially emotional for Penn State on Sunday as they said goodbye to their seniors on their home floor for the last time.

Penn State started the game out hot, jumping to a 10-4 lead four minutes into the game. Maryland responded and went on a huge run as Penn State’s offense went ice cold.

After taking a 15-14 lead on senior [autotag]Michael Henn[/autotag]’s three, they didn’t score a point for over eight minutes.

By the time they broke the drought with four minutes left in the first half, Maryland had taken a 28-17 lead.

The deficit increased and the Nittany Lions went into the locker room trailing 35-22. It would have been worse if not for [autotag]Jalen Pickett[/autotag]’s buzzer beating three before halftime, a prequal to what was coming later in the game.

On Senior Night, it was the seniors who led the way for their comeback victory.

It was a game of runs in the second half. Penn State would cut into the deficit and then Maryland would extend it. The Nittany Lions were still trailing by ten points with five minutes left in the game.

From that point on, only seniors scored the rest of the way.

[autotag]Myles Dread[/autotag] hit a three to cut the lead to five. He finished the game with 11 points and three made three pointers. This is a good sign for Penn State and Dread who has been struggling late in the season.

With 43 seconds left, [autotag]Camren Wynter [/autotag]made a layup after a beautiful pass from Pickett to give Penn State their first lead of the second half.

Maryland’s [autotag]Julian Reese[/autotag] hit a layup of his own to get the lead back.

Trailing 64-63 with 19 seconds left, Penn State had one possession to win the game.

[autotag]Seth Lundy[/autotag] pulled up from three at the top of the key. The ball bounced off the rim and into a scrum of players. Wynter, the smallest player in the scrum, came up with the ball. He immediately went up and scored a layup to give Penn State a 65-64 victory.

That’s two game winners from Wynter in the last two games. He’s been on a tear down the stretch, playing a huge role in Penn State’s strong close to the regular season.

Pickett scored a team high 16 points, adding seven rebounds and seven assists. [autotag]Andrew Funk[/autotag] added 14 points with four three pointers. Wynter scored six points but had the most important basket of the game.

Maryland senior guard [autotag]Jahmir Young[/autotag] scored a game high 26 points with eight rebounds. Reese, [autotag]Don Carey[/autotag] and [autotag]Ian Martinez[/autotag] joined Young in double figures.

With this win, Penn State secured a bye in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and will be playing on the second day.

Jalen Pickett, Seth Lundy, Andrew Funk, Camren Wynter, Michael Henn and Myles Dread were the seniors honored on Senior Day.

Penn State basketball loses fourth game in a row at Maryland

Penn State’s losing streak continued with a loss at Maryland.

Penn State’s winless February continued Saturday afternoon. They lost 68-74 in College Park, Maryland against the Maryland Terrapins.

Freshman guard [autotag]Kanye Clary[/autotag] led the Nittany Lions with 17 points. [autotag]Jalen Pickett[/autotag] added 15 points but failed to hit his season averages with five assists and three rebounds.

Maryland senior guard, [autotag]Hakim Hart[/autotag], led the game with 23 points on 80% shooting from the field. Guard [autotag]Jahmir Young[/autotag] was the games second leading scorer with 18 points.

The road struggles continued for Penn State. They are now 1-7 away from home this season.

Beating Maryland on the road was going to be a tough task. The Terrapins are 13-1 at home, including an undefeated home record in Big Ten play.

Unlike the majority of the road losses, shooting was not the issue for Penn State in this game.

They shot 50% from the field and hit 12 three pointers on 46% shooting. This was their best shooting performance overall in the past few games.

They also defended the three point line much better than in the previous three losses.

Purdue, Nebraska and Wisconsin each hit eight or more threes and shot 40% from deep against Penn State in February.

On Saturday, Maryland made six three pointers on 38% shooting.

The issue was the free throw line and turnovers.

Penn State only shot four free throws and made two. Maryland got 18 of their points from the line on 23 attempts.

The Nittany Lions lead Division 1 basketball turning the ball over the fewest times per game with 8.7 Saturday, 13 turnovers were committed.

That’s the most frustrating thing about this teams’ losing streak.

A weakness is self scouted and addressed, but another issue pops up.

In a conference as deep as the Big Ten, any mistake can turn a winnable game into a loss.

Everyone is waiting to see if coach [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] can fix what is ailing his team and get the season back on track.

The last time Penn State played a complete game was in late January, when they throttle Michigan 83-61.

Penn State currently sits at 11th in the 14 team Big Ten standings.

Their next game takes place in The Bryce Jordan Center against Illinois at 7pm ET on Valentine’s Day.
