Alex Len might not be playing well of late.
Maryland still played well with him on the floor on Saturday.
SEE RELATED:
Granted, he was nowhere to be seen when Virginia Tech narrowed a double-digit margin in the final five minutes of what wound up a 73-69 Maryland win. But take a look at his stints on the floor and how the Terrapins fared:
15:54 to 11:01 (1H): Terps 10-9 (from 8-2 to 18-11)
7:12 to 5:50 (1H): Tied 2-2 (from 24-13 to 26-15)
3:50 to 1:38 (1H): Terps 4-0 (from 28-19 to 32-19)
14:11 to 9:34 (2H): Terps 15-13 (from 36-29 to 51-42)
Total: Terps 31-24 over 13:04
What’s interesting here is even though Len made his biggest difference on defense early in the season, his presence coincided with better offense from Maryland on Saturday.
Consider:
Percentage of Maryland’s minutes played by Len: 32.7
Percentage of Maryland’s scoring while Len played: 42.5
Percentage of Virginia Tech’s scoring while Len played: 34.8
Of course, it’s just one game. But it’s curious nonetheless.
