Following their biggest win of the season thus far over Illinois, Maryland will face Wisconsin on Tuesday night in their first conference road test of the year. The Badgers currently hold a 6-2 (0-0) record, with close losses to Kansas and Wake Forest on their resume. They've picked up close non-conference victories over Marquette, USC, and Dayton. All of their last five games have been decided by five or fewer points, with two of them going to overtime. Greg Gard is in his eighth season as their head coach, and after being named as a three-seed in the NCAA Tournament last year, they were upset by Iowa State in the second round.

 

Wisconsin is led by senior forward Tyler Wahl, who's averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game. They have a young but talented backcourt made up of sophomore Chucky Hepburn and freshman Connor Essegian. Both are averaging more than 10 points per game while shooting above 45% from beyond the arc. As a team, they shoot a poor percentage overall but rely heavily on their three-point shooting. They typically play very good defense, and run one of the more methodical offenses in the country.

Wisconsin wasn't ranked in this week's AP Poll but did receive 16 votes, tying them for #31 nationally with Utah.

 

Maryland jumped up nine spots to #13.

Playing Wisconsin is always a slog, don't think it's a hot take this would be a more impressive win than the Illinois game

Winning this game would be another great sign for the Maryland program and this years chances.

Terps were due for a poor shooting performance, hopefully it doesn’t last all night. Getting good looks, the ball just isn’t going in the basket.

Terps have missed a couple wide open threes and one layup after stealing an in-bounds.

Good timeout to stop a little run.

Oof...bad couple minutes. Martinez falls asleep defensively, Hart falls down trying to corral a loose ball which turns into an open three, and an illegal screen. Frustrating.

More bad shooting. Wisconsin killing the defense with back cuts.

Martinez’s defense has been atrocious so far.

Maryland is 1/5 on layups thus far, which tells you everything you need to know about how this game has gone.

I thought Reese got blocked there when he was trying to run up to the ball, but whatever.

Down two at half. Very big comeback to erase the results of that bad 5-6 minute stretch.
