Riding a three-game winning streak in which it has out-scored its opponents by an average of 20 points, No. 20 Maryland women’s basketball will take to the road once again to face Illinois Thursday night.
Following a mediocre 2-2 start to conference play, the Terps’ latest run of wins has elevated them to a tie for second in the Big Ten, behind only Northwestern and Iowa. Meanwhile, their opponent sits at the bottom of the conference after seven games, with the Fighting Illini winning just one game compared to six losses to tie for last place.
Maryland has been dominant in nearly every performance against Illinois in the program series, winning all 10 of its matchups with the Illini dating back to 1982.
