Maryland men’s basketball is back in the Xfinity Center Tuesday for the first time in over a week and the last time before the end of the semester to play Loyola-Maryland. The Terps dropped out of the Top 25 after another 1-1 week, losing to Purdue by two on the road before beating the other Loyola-Chicago by 14 in Baltimore.
Maryland held a lead in the Purdue game until a late collapse, then survived foul trouble from Bruno Fernando and Jalen Smith to take down last season’s Final Four Cinderella. The Terps allowed just 41 points against Loyola-Chicago, the fewest under head coach Mark Turgeon’s tenure.
