Contrasting Styles (Erik Scheponik)

Today’s Butler/Maryland game features one of the biggest contrast of styles that you’ll see in the NCAA.  Maryland is among the NCAA leaders at right around 75 possessions/game, while Butler is among the slowest at right around 60 possessions/game.  With Maryland’s huge edge in athleticism, expect Butler to put everything it has into getting back on defense and boxing out.  The Bulldogs do these things well, and are a weak offensive rebounding team anyway, so it won’t be a huge adjustment.
