GameThread: Maryland basketball vs. Penn State

Maryland basketball tips off its 2018 slate with a Big Ten matchup against Penn State. The game is at 7 p.m. on BTN.

The Terps are without Justin Jackson and Ivan Bender, both of whom are out for the season, but still have a chance to start 2018 on the right foot. They'll also try to pick up the win over Penn State that evaded them in 2017, as the Nittany Lions pulled off an upset of sorts in State College last February.

The rules here aren't changing to start 2018. This is still your space for analysis, commentary and more. Be respectful, and go Terps.
