College Park, Md. — The gantlet begins Saturday at the Xfinity Center.
"We know what's coming," Wisconsin interim head coach Greg Gard said. "We know Maryland is a really good team."
The second-ranked Terrapins (22-3, 10-2 Big Ten), who host unranked UW (15-9, 7-4) at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, have lost one home game since joining the Big Ten before last season.
Fifth-year head coach Mark Turgeon, 24-6 in all Big Ten games, has put together a roster capable of contending for a national title.
"Mark has done a really good job assembling that group and they're experienced," said Gard, whose team lost to Maryland, 63-60, last month in Madison.
