Maryland men’s basketball — sitting at 18-9 overall, 9-7 in Big Ten play and comfortably in the NCAA Tournament field — returns home for a rematch against Minnesota on Wednesday.
Winners of seven of their last 10 games, the Terps are playing some of their best basketball of the season. After last week started with a 68-54 home win over Big Ten leader and No. 3 Purdue, the signature moment of the Kevin Willard era, it ended poorly. Maryland had multiple chances to close out an inferior Nebraska team on the road Sunday, but the Terps just could not get the job done, falling 70-66 to the Cornhuskers.
