Marial Could Provide Boost, But Terps Still Have Issues To Iron Out

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland (10-2) is in the midst of a two-game losing skid and is coming off a demoralizing 52-48 loss to depleted Seton Hall Dec. 19, but at least the Terps will get a key reinforcement back before the New Year. South Sudanese 7-foot-2, 230-pound center Chol Marial, who suited up for the Pirates’ bout but did not play, should see action in UMD’s next game against Bryant Dec. 29 at Xfinity Center.
