Last Meeting ( Jan 11, 2019 ) Indiana 75, Maryland 78

No. 15 Maryland looks to extend its home winning streak to nine games when it resumes Big Ten Conference play against Indiana on Saturday. The Terrapins tumbled out of the Top 10 following two straight road losses to 21st-ranked Penn State and Seton Hall, but bounced back with an 84-70 victory over Bryant on Sunday, and hope to knock off the Hoosiers in College Park for the fifth consecutive time.

"We continue to learn about our team and I'll say this week we've gotten a lot better in practice," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon told reporters. "We'll keep plugging and we'll keep working … and hopefully we'll find more rhythm in the next couple of games." Indiana's three-game winning streak came to an end following a 71-64 loss to Arkansas in Bloomington on Sunday. The Hoosiers seemed poised to finish the non-conference portion of their schedule without a loss for the first time since 2011, but were outscored 38-26 by the Razorbacks in the second half, and they hope to get over the disappointment in the first of five games in January against teams currently ranked in the Top 25. "We have an 11-2 record getting ready to get in the Big Ten start here in January, but we need to get better," Indiana coach Archie Miller told reporters. "We have a good group but to finish non-conference this way at home to me is a wake-up call."

TIME: Noon ET. TV: Fox

ABOUT INDIANA (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten): Freshman phenom Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 16 of his team-high 20 points in the first half and pulled down six rebounds in the loss to Arkansas. Devonte Green knocked down four 3-pointers en route to 14 points while Joey Brunk finished with eight points and a game-high 11 rebounds against the Razorbacks. Al Durham, who is averaging 11.4 points per game, was ejected for a flagrant two foul just past the midway point of the first half for elbowing Arkansas forward Adrio Bailey. Jerome Hunter was sidelined with a thigh bruise and is questionable for Saturday's clash.

ABOUT MARYLAND (11-2, 1-1): Anthony Cowan Jr. went a perfect 9-for-9 from the free-throw line en route to 19 points and four assists while Aaron Wiggins added 15 points and nine rebounds in the win against Bryant. Jalen Smith produced 11 points and 10 rebounds to register his eighth double-double of the season while Donta Scott finished with nine points and seven boards. Chol Marial scored six points and grabbed five rebounds in 14 minutes in his much-anticipated debut after stress fractures in both legs kept the 7-foot-2 center sidelined for the first two months of the season.
