Third-seeded Maryland will have an interesting matchup in its Big Ten tournament quarterfinal Friday night at Verizon Center.
Unlike any of the other remaining teams, the No. 25 Terps will be facing an opponent they didn’t see during the regular season.
Since Maryland played Northwestern just once, and junior guard Scottie Lindsey was out with mononucleosis, the team the Terps will meet is markedly different from the one they beat easily in Evanston, Ill., last month.
Based on what the Wildcats did in Thursday’s second-round game against Rutgers, it’s hard to judge exactly who the Terps will see in Washington.
