Maryland men’s basketball’s West Coast road trip didn’t go as planned.
Back-to-back close losses to Washington and No. 15 Oregon put the Terps at 1-3 against conference opponents, well behind the 8-ball in the Big Ten standings. They’ve got a hole to dig themselves out of starting Friday, when they return to Xfinity Center to take on No. 22 UCLA.
Maryland is 9-1 at home, with its only loss coming by just four points to No. 7 Marquette. It will need to find some of that home-court magic to secure its first ranked win of the year.
