Following victories in five of their last six games, Maryland will face off against Nicholls on Tuesday night in a final tune-up before traveling to Southern California for a Friday night showdown with UCLA. The Colonels are off to a 4-6 (0-0) start to their season, with a notable victory in early November against LSU. They haven't won a game against a Division I opponent since their triple overtime victory over South Alabama in mid-November. Aberdeen, MD native and former Maryland director of player personnel Tevon Saddler is in his first season as their head coach.

Hanging tough with Nicholls through the first half!

This team is not good.

Maryland’s horrendous perimeter defense is going to cost them more than a few games in conference play.

I think they have more to worry about than simply perimeter defense.

So yeah, any hope that this team had maybe started to figure a few things out on the offensive end is basically gone. This UCLA game is gonna be a bloodbath.
