The Maryland Terrapins have a huge Big10 game tonight at the XFINITY Center in College Park, Maryland facing the Indiana Hoosiers. The 7-7 Terps need this win to climb back over .500 and get their first Big10 win.
The early schedule has turned into one of Maryland’s toughest of all-time with four AP Top 25 teams in that six game stretch (Iowa was No. 25 in USA Today Coaches Poll, but receiving votes in AP Top Top 25 poll). The closest previously was Maryland’s 1955-56 schedule that had three straight AP ranked teams (#12 Kentucky, #11 North Carolina, No. 16 Michigan State) and then No. 7 George Washington in an early six-game stretch.
Indiana leads the all-time series 14-10, but the Terps picked up a road win, 79-78, last year thanks to a Rodney Rice buzzer-beating three pointer in Bloomington. In College Park, the Terps hold a 5-4 edge in the series, but have lost two of the last three meetings in XFINITY.
Maryland defeated Indiana, 64-52, to claim the 2002 NCAA National Championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Before being conference rivals, Indiana and Maryland played twice in the NCAA Tournament (1981, 2002) and twice in the ACC/Big Ten Tournament (2002, 2009).
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).
