MM 4.12: Maryland men’s basketball to participate in Asheville Championship Tournament

Maryland men’s basketball will participate in the Asheville Championship Tournament in Asheville, North Carolina on Nov. 10-12, it was announced Tuesday.

The event, which will be in its third season of existence in 2023 will be played at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center, also featuring Clemson, Davidson and UAB.

Last season, Maryland played in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Championship at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The Terps won the event, handily defeating Saint Louis and Miami.

As founding members of the ACC, Maryland has played Clemson 132 times, the fifth-most games the Terps have played against any opponent. Maryland leads the all-time series 85-47, but lost the most recent matchup in 2020, when the Terps and Tigers faced off in the now-extinct ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Maryland has played Davidson seven times — winning six of those games — most recently in 2007, when the Terps eliminated Stephen Curry and the Wildcats in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

UAB and Maryland have never faced each other. The Blazers were the runners-up in the 2023 NIT.

Game times, matchups and television information for this year’s tournament will be announced at a later date.
