Best of 2025

2025 marks PressBox’s ninth annual Best Of edition celebrating the top people, performances and moments of the year.

Best Throwback

Maryland men’s basketball put together almost an entirely new roster ahead of the 2025-26 season, and that might not be all that uncommon in the college hoops landscape in the years ahead.

That begs the question: Who will be the next Julian Reese, a productive player who stays in College Park for four years?

Reese averaged 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game as a senior. He also hit 73.4 percent of his free throws, a big improvement from the previous two seasons — which proved vital when he hit four free throws in crunch time of the Terps’ 72-71 win against Colorado State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
