The last time Maryland (6-5, 0-2 Big Ten) gave up 100 points to three opponents in one season occurred during the 1992-93 campaign when No. 6 North Carolina, unranked Florida State and the No. 1 Tar Heels (again) scored 101, 105 and 102 points, respectively. The 1990-91 squad allowed five opponents to cross the century mark.

The Wildcats added to one of the best résumés in the country by defeating Alabama 96-75. Arizona boasts five ranked wins: Florida, UCLA, UConn, Alabama and Auburn. Michigan received the second-most first-place votes (15) after defeating Villanova and Maryland. Duke, another team that challenged for the No. 1 spot, was idle.
