Following their biggest victory in a number of years, Maryland hits the road to face off against Nebraska on Sunday evening. In these teams' first matchup of the season, the Terps handled the Cornhuskers easily and won by 19 points. Since then, Fred Hoiberg's squad has had a decent run, winning three of their last five games including a big road victory against Rutgers on Tuesday night. This run has been led by junior guard Keisei Tominaga, who is averaging 25 points per game in their last four contests. He's been red hot from everywhere on the court, and slowing him down will be crucial for Maryland's defense.

This feels like a massive t**p g**e

I think the terps have a better mindset now. Their problem seems to be with their intensity at the start of these games. Their lack of focus, especially on the offensive end of the floor has really killed them this year. They have left several wins on the table due to that. Barring a repeat of their atrocious starts to begin games this year, (especially on the road), they should handle Nebraska with ease. But will they?

Agreed. And Nebraska hasn’t been rolling over at all lately. Anxious to see how the Terps come out.

Maryland enters this game as 5-point favorites.

They'll win comfortably unless they have a terrible shooting night. In other words, prepare for a nail biter.

Actually, if I may be so bold, I think MD has all kinds of confidence right now. May be close for a bit but I think they pull away by the end.

Its a letdown spot. And they still only have 1 road win. Doesnt mean they will lose but I wouldnt bet them to cover the spread

Scott hits a 3.

[BSLChrisStoner]

3-2 after 3 minutes.

[Mike B]

Nebraska is really packing it in.  Need to make some outside shots.

[BSLChrisStoner]

3 points in 5 minutes, and somehow down just 1.

[Mike B]

Not a good start.  Emiliano, Martinez and Long in early.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Hope the defense came to play, because they still haven’t figured out how to score on the road.

[BSLZackKiesel]

4 turnovers for Maryland already.

[Mike B]

Ugly first 10 minutes,

Reese and Scott are not handling the double teams.

[BSLZackKiesel]

And now two early fouls on Reese
