The Maryland Terrapins face Old Dominion University tonight at the XFINITY Center in College Park, Maryland for a game of Maryland against another Virginia college team. With Maryland at 6-6, they need this win to back over .500 and into 2026 with a win in the books.
Despite being a somewhat regional matchup of Maryland and Virginia teams, this will mark just the seventh time Maryland and Old Dominion have met with the Terps holding a 5-1 all-time record. The last meeting was an 85-67 win in Nov. 2020 at XFINITY Center.
The game will also feature the return of some familiar faces. ODU head coach Mike Jones, a former standout for the Monarchs, was the head coach at DeMatha High School for 19 years before moving to the college ranks at Virginia Tech and then at Maryland during the 2023-24 campaign. Former Terp Caelum Swanton-Rodger will also return to College Park where he played two seasons (2022-24) before going to ODU with Jones.
The game will tip off at 6 PM and will be televised on the Big-10 Network with streaming on FOX. Ed Cohen is your play-by-play voice with Tavaras Hardy as the analyst.
On April 2, 2025, Buzz Williams was named head coach at Maryland after re-building Texas A&M into a program that reached three consecutive NCAA Tournaments. For his career, he is seeking to become one of just three NCAA Division I head coaches to post 100 career wins at four different institutions joining Maryland Hall of Fame Coach Lefty Driesell (Davidson, Maryland, James Madison, Georgia State) and Steve Alford (Iowa, New Mexico, UCLA, Nevada).
