Unexpectedly, Maryland and Nebraska face off as top two teams in Big Ten standings

Maryland crushed the Nebraska women’s basketball team last season, and that’s probably putting it nicely.

The Terrapins won by 44 points, the second-worst loss by score margin in Nebraska history, and the worst in a home game.

And now one year later, unexpectedly, Maryland and Nebraska will play each other Sunday as the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Big Ten Conference standings. Maryland and Nebraska will play at 2 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Maryland (19-3, 8-1 Big Ten) at the top of the standings is expected. The 11th-ranked Terrapins have won every regular-season and conference tournament championship in the three seasons since joining the Big Ten.
