After winning five of their last six games, Maryland will face off against #3 Purdue in College Park on Thursday night. The Boilermakers have lost two of their last three games to Indiana and Northwestern, both coming as road defeats. The first time these two teams met in East Lafayette this season, the Terps took the game to the wire and lost by just three points. They've won ten straight conference home games for the first time since joining the Big Ten, and will be looking to keep that rolling against head coach Matt Painter's squad.

Wouldn't be too unhappy with a one point loss -- but Purdue is beatable away from Mackey.

The Terps spring the upset Thursday night.

Basically punching their ticket to the tournament.

Illinois, Michigan, and Rutgers all lost tonight. Maryland is currently in a five-way tie for fourth place in the conference. If they want the coveted double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament, a win in this game would go a long way.

The B10 schools are beating each other up..  12-8 may get  the Terps a double bye.

The gameplan should be simple enough.....continue to play great defense, work the ball inside and take as few 3s as possible.

Saw reports that KenPom is projecting a 12-8 finish and the #2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament for Maryland.

If they finish 12-8 and get a 2 seed, IMO, it will be a very impressive overachievement.  Willard has made nice adjustments and IMO is getting the most out of this team.

Willard when he was asked about the colorful language in the student section's chants against Penn State: "I've got to teach them how to not curse, because the other night, for such a great institution, I think we could teach better language. I mean, I don't mind it. But I'm from New York, so I'm a little different. It's kind of in my vocabulary."

 

When I was in charge of the student section during my senior year, I always hated how much energy the Athletic Department wasted on trying to crack down on stuff like this. Seems like Damon Evans couldn't care less, which is good.

It's embarrassing.  Sorry.  Love everything about the students except for the vulgarities.

 

But it's one of those things where asking them not to do it is just going to make them do it more, so what do you do.

It doesn't bother me but I don't like it and wish it didn't happen.  

 

I was there for "Eff you JJ" and didn't like it then.  I'm down with "asshole" to a specific player for a brief time, but F bombs go a bit too far and shouldn't be chanted so loud that you can hear them clearly on TV.

They're college kids in an amped up environment. What do you expect?

LOL as someone who can remember multiple "you are ugly" chants since 2015-16 (when I was a freshman) if they're stopping at a generic f--k Penn State then it's tamer than it was when Jarrod Uthoff came to town

Well 300-some other programs don't seem to have the same behavior.  I know there have certainly been bad/vulgar chants from other fanbases, but not regularly chanting F-bombs in unison at the opposition.
