Get To Know A Marquette Basketball Opponent: University of Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers

Name: University of Maryland-Baltimore County, colloquially UMBC

Location: Baltimore County, obviously

That’s not actually helpful: It’s actually in Baltimore, according to their mailing address, less than eight miles from Camden Yards.

Wait, isn’t Baltimore pretty close to Washington, D.C.? Yep, about 40 miles apart.

Don’t they share an airport? Well, kind of. There’s Reagan, which is in Arlington, Virginia. There’s Dulles, which is waaaaay east of D.C. out near where the Washington NFL franchise practices in Ashburn, and then there’s Baltimore/Washington International Airport, which is waaaaaaaaay closer to Baltimore than to D.
