Can Maryland contain California's outside game? The Golden Bears shoot 43.4 percent on three-point tries, the best in NCAA Division I. The Terps, who periodically used zone defense against larger teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, will likely come out in man-to-man and emphasize guarding the perimeter. On offense, Maryland is always better when it can consistently get scoring from somebody besides Greivis Vasquez, its leader.
