Maryland's alumni team in The Basketball Tournament has loaded up on former Terrapin stars in recent weeks. On Thursday, it was announced that Melo Trimble will be joining the squad, adding to the firepower for the Shell Shock. Trimble joins a long list of standout Terrapins who are linking up for this year's tournament, including Juan Dixon (Head Coach) and Joe Smith (Assistant Coach).

Trimble put together an impressive career in College Park, earning First Team All-Big Ten honors as a junior. He became just the 15th player in program history to earn all-conference honors three times, and finished his Maryland career ranked 13th in points (1,658), second in career made free throws (503), eighth in three point field goals made (177), 12th in assists (403), and 19th in steals (124). Trimble is also one of only four players in Maryland history to account for 1,600 points, 400 assists, and 150 steals, joining Greivis Vasquez, Johnny Rhodes, and Walt Williams.
