Following an emotional 66-61 road victory against Michigan State, No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball (22-5, 13-3) is back home for one of its biggest games of the season — and one of the most anticipated bouts on the national scene — as it is set to take on No. 7 Iowa (22-5, 14-2) for the second time this season Tuesday.
With No. 2 Indiana clinching the Big Ten regular-season title after easily defeating Purdue Sunday, 83-60, the Hawkeyes and Terps find themselves in a furious race for the No. 2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. And of course, the immense national implications that will stem from Tuesday’s top-10 showdown are not to be overlooked.
