Maryland basketball won its third straight Big Ten game to start 2019 on Tuesday night, pulling away from Minnesota for an 82-67 victory. This game, like the home win over Nebraska on Jan. 2, was a toss-up on paper and played out like one for most of the night. But the Terps made the adjustments, hit the shots and came out on top.
Now it’s time to do that all over again for the next couple months.
The Big Ten is loaded with squads right around Maryland’s caliber this season. Nine teams have been ranked at some point, and 10 received AP votes this week.
