Wiscy/MD hoops preview…

In the January 29th AP poll, Wiscy came in at #6 overall at 16-4, 8-1 B1G. Since then they have cratered, finishing the season 3-8 with losses at Michigan, at Rutgers, at Indiana and at Nebraska among others for a final record of 19-12, 11-9 B1G. However, 2 of the 8 losses were to Purdue by just a combined 14 points. The 3 wins were all at home - vs Rutgers, vs Ohio State and vs our Terps by 4, 74-70. In the prior meeting vs MD, UW led for 35:35, the Terps for just 2:43. UW won the boards 33-24. MD was able to run some and totaled 13 fastbreak points to just 3 for UW. However, Jahmir was held to just 6-17 fgs. Reese was most productive Terp with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. However he needs to stay out of foul trouble (when have we said that before? lol) vs their 2 bigs Tyler Wahl (6-9) and Steven Crowl (7-0). Wahl had 18 points and 6 rebounds on 6-9 fgs in the 1st meeting and drew 5 fouls on Terps defenders. Terps fouled a bunch late in game but Wiscy held them off by making 11-12 fts in last 42 seconds of game to seal the 74-70 win, finishing 28-31 fts for the game. Freshman guard John Blackwell has been playing well for Badgers coming into today - tied career-high with 18 points vs Purdue in last game - and is averaging 17.5 ppg in last 2 games, impressive player. Wiscy is favored today by 3 1/2 and TV is BTN, Brandon Gaudin and Stephen Bardo on call with Rick Pizzo on sideline.

***Rutgers B1G Tourney Game Thread***

We're about 15 minutes from tipoff between the Terps and Scarlet Knights in Minny.

Julian Reese is listed as a starter for tonight's game. It will be interesting to see how he plays after sitting out the regular season finale.

Rutgers is a winnable game for this group. Already beat them away from home pretty handily just a couple of weeks back.

Game can be streamed on Peacock.

Four-star LB Carlton Smith breaks down his commitment to Maryland

Adam Friedman caught up with four-star LB and former St. Frances Panther Carlton Smith, who breaks down his commitment to the Terps. This is a really nice pickup for Locks & Co., as he had real offers from the likes of Alabama, PSU, Notre Dame and more. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but 2025 is shaping up to be a really solid class.

Dirty Tuesday Terps

Important game tonight

"Northeastern is one of the toughest midweek opponents the Terps have faced yet. The Huskies have an impressive resume, which includes sweeps over Indiana State (No. 10 in RPI) and USF, and road wins at three top-ranked opponents in Duke, Boston College and UConn."


"Implications for the NCAA Tournament. This game will likely make or break any hope for Maryland hosting a regional this year and is important for seeding regardless. This will be the Terps' last big test before the Big Ten Tournament, and it is likely they would rise in RPI if they can beat the Huskies on Tuesday."
