Blessed with the nation’s highest-scoring starting unit, it was only a matter of time before Maryland dusted off an old nickname and bestowed it on its new group of stars.The Terrapins’ second edition of “The Crab Five” is Ja’Kobi Gillespie, Selton Miguel, Derik Queen, Julian Reese and Rodney Rice. They average a combined 70.4 points per game, which is more than any power conference quintet.With its starters in high gear, No. 16 Maryland (21-6, 11-5 Big Ten) has won four in a row and eight of its last nine entering Wednesday’s matchup with No. 8 Michigan State (22-5, 13-3) in College Park, Md.Maryland’s original Crab Five was a group of highly touted recruits from the 2012 class that had mixed success, led by former NBA reserve Jake Layman. Thirteen years later, the new Crab Five has more staying power.The Terrapins have flashed remarkable cohesion considering they start three transfers in the backcourt and a freshman in the frontcourt in Queen, who leads the team in scoring at 15.9 points per game as he races up NBA draft boards.In three straight games, each member of the starting five has scored in double figures.Last Thursday, after Maryland’s 88-71 victory over Southern California, when he was asked if he had any concern that his bench contributed just three points, coach Kevin Willard had a one-word answer.”No,” he said.Willard is more effusive when discussing the progress of the starting five.”I just like the way they’re playing,” Willard said. “I think they do have a lot of confidence. I like our defensive intensity. More than anything, I like the fact that I can throw the ball inside on a consistent basis.”Getting the ball to its big men has served Maryland well during its current four-game winning streak. The Terps are averaging 90.5 points per game with Reese making 22 of 34 shots (64.7 percent) and Queen connecting on 29 of 45 (64.4 percent).
