It’s unclear how much Maryland basketball has to play for after another crushing road loss to Nebraska on Tuesday, but the Terps will look to begin a late-season winning streak when they host Rutgers on Saturday night.
It’s a primetime matchup between two teams in the bottom half of the Big Ten, and most casual basketball fans will be glued to NBA All-Star Saturday Night. But Jake Layman and Melo Trimble will be on hand, and Maryland is seeking its sixth straight win against Rutgers since the teams joined the league.
Maryland: 17-11 (6-9 Big Ten)
Rutgers: 13-15 (3-12 Big Ten)
All-time series: Maryland leads 8-3
Odds: Maryland is an 11.
