The Terps enter Sunday's game coming off of the high of defeating No. 3 Purdue at home by 14 points earlier in the week. Nebraska, meanwhile, has won three of their last four and two straight coming into Sunday's meeting with the Terps.

For the Terps, who have won six of their last seven games, Sunday will be all about avoiding a let down coming off of an impressive, emotional win at home and facing a team they already defeated earlier this year by 19 points.

In the first meeting between Maryland and Nebraska, the Terps allowed the Huskers to shoot 53% from the field. They will be looking to play tougher defense Sunday in Lincoln, similar to the way they did in their two road wins earlier this season where they held both Louisville and Minnesota under 35% shooting from the field.

In particular, the Terps are likely to focus on junior guard Keisei Tominaga, who is coming off of a 22-point performance in the Huskers' last outing at Rutgers in which he was 4 of 9 from beyond the arc. Tominaga is shooting the ball as well as anyone in the country in the month of February, having scored 20-plus points in four straight games while shooting 18 of 38 (47.3%) from beyond the arc during that stretch.

For Maryland, they will look for senior guard Jahmir Young to continue his stellar play on the perimeter while Julian Reese continues his impressive play inside. The Terps could also see senior forward Patrick Emilien get significant minutes, coming off of one of his best outings of the season versus Purdue. He scored a season-high 10 points, while also adding seven rebounds a steal and a block in the first meeting between these two teams.

If the Terps can bring their defensive intensity for a full 40 minutes Sunday, they should have an excellent chance of coming away with their third road win of the season.
