Trimble tabbed to Preseason All-Big Ten team

Terps junior guard Melo Trimble was one of 10 named to the 2016-2017 Preseason All-Big Ten Team, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon on BTN Live.

Trimble, who last season led the Terps in scoring (14.8 ppg), assists (5.0 apg), free throw percentage (.868) and steals (44), is a two-time All-Big Ten selection, having led the Terps to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and their first Sweet Sixteen appearance in over a decade.

Fans will be able to get their first look at Trimble and the rest of the 2016-2017 basketball team Friday, Oct. 14 at 8 p.m. when the Terps host Maryland Madness. The Terps will officially open the season Nov. 11 at home against American University.
