After losing to Northwestern on Wednesday night and ensuring a losing record in conference play, Maryland remains in College Park to face off against Indiana on Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers won these teams' first matchup in early December by 12 points, but have since undergone a similarly disappointing season. Mike Woodson's team has lost four of their last five games, and has all but ensured they'll miss the NCAA Tournament for the first time during his tenure.

 

This is Maryland's second-to-last game of the regular season, and they'll likely be playing on the first day of the Big Ten Tournament for the first time since joining the conference.

Lead got out to 16 before Indiana quickly cut it to 7. Not going away quietly. Maryland has played well today though.

[BSLZackKiesel]

Both teams shooting far better than they have all year today.
