Following a disappointing loss to Ohio State on Wednesday night, #21 Maryland will head back on the road to face off against Penn State in their final game of the regular season. Seeding in the Big Ten Tournament is nowhere close to being set, and the Terps have a chance to finish with anywhere from the #2 to #8 seeds. Obviously, a win in this game would go a long way to earning them the coveted double-bye.
Maryland won the first meeting between these teams a few weeks ago by a score of 74-68. Since that game, Micah Shrewsberry's team has been red hot, winning four of their last five matchups (three of which came on the road). Much like the Buckeyes, Penn State is a team that excels on the offensive end of the court while typically struggling defensively.
