After their blowout loss to Iowa on Thursday night, the Terps will hit the road to face #12 Illinois on Sunday night. The Fighting Illini currently hold a 9-3 (5-1) record with conference victories over Indiana, Minnesota, Northwestern, Penn State, and Purdue, and a lone conference loss to Rutgers. Their non-conference schedule featured a victory over Duke and losses to Baylor and Missouri.

 

KenPom ranks Illinois as the 5th-best team in the country, while Maryland comes in at 50th.

I am a Terp die hard, but 50 seems a little high for Maryland.  This is a very lacking team.

It is still weighted heavily by the strong offensive showing in the OOC. They're probably closer to 75th by the end of the season, IMO. This is another game tonight, that I simply have no appetite in watching (but I will anyway). Go Terps.

It's not until Sunday night, so at least we'll have the Browns-Steelers game to distract us when this gets inevitably ugly.

I am glad this is an 8 PM game.  I am hoping I am in a good mood when I watch this game.

I think it's grading them on the fact they've largely lost to teams better than them and not punishing them too much for it. If they lost to Nebraska by 30 or whatever it'd go down, but most teams can lose to Iowa and still be around 50th in the country I think

Wiggins, Hart, Morsell, Scott, and Smith are the starters. So no traditional PG on the floor for the Terps to start the game.

Cockburn compared to the Terps lineup looks like one of those 15 year olds with an illegal birth certificate in the LLWS.
