Maryland Terrapins

Maryland Terrapins lost to Michigan State in their last game but should bounce back strong against the Scarlet Knights. They cannot afford to start slow and play catchup as they did against the Spartans. Leading the way for Maryland is Anthony Cowan and Jalen Smith. The Terrapins average 71.6 points per game and hold opponents to just 63.8 per contest. A win will assure Maryland at least a share of the top seed in the conference and the regular-season title.

Players to watch: A. Cowan Jr. G (29 GP 34.5 MIN 16.1 PTS 3.6 REB 4.7 AST 1 STL 0.2 BLK 2.2 TO 38 FG% 80.2 FT% 32.5 3PT%), J. Smith F (29 GP 31 MIN 15.3 PTS 10.5 REB 0.8 AST 0.7 STL 2.3 BLK 1.7 TO 53.6 FG% 76.1 FT% 38 3PT%), A.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Despite the odds, Rutgers needs to go for a win badly for an NCAA tournament appearance. They have dropped six of their last eight games but playing at home could help their chances of winning. Ron Harper Jr. needs to come up with a good offensive game and get some help from Geo Baker. The defense should boost their chances although they face a formidable adversary in Maryland.

Players to watch: R. Harper Jr. G (29 GP 28 MIN 12.1 PTS 5.7 REB 1.1 AST 0.8 STL 0.8 BLK 1.1 TO 45.3 FG% 72.3 FT% 32.7 3PT%), G. Baker G (26 GP 28.3 MIN 10.6 PTS 2.9 REB 3.5 AST 1.1 STL 0.7 BLK 1.7 TO 39.1 FG% 77.8 FT% 26.1 3PT%), A. Yeboah F (29 GP 23.9 MIN 9.8 PTS 4.7 REB 0.9 AST 0.8 STL 0.5 BLK 1.2 TO 43.2 FG% 78.1 FT% 36 3PT%​).
