Big Ten basketball is finally here, as Maryland hosts Penn State for a game at Xfinity Center on Wednesday night.
The No. 4 Terps enter at 11-1, having wrapped the main portion of their non-conference schedule with a 20-point win against Marshall on Sunday evening. The Nittany Lions are 9-4 and will be playing after a full week of rest, most recently having beaten Kent State last Wednesday.
Penn State will look a lot different than the team Maryland beat twice last season, primarily because leading scorer and all-everything veteran guard D.J. Newbill has finally left State College.
