Maryland men’s basketball will stay on the road to face Illinois on Thursday night.
The Terps are coming off an 80-75 loss to Iowa on the road in what was their first true road game of the season.

Maryland is now 8-5 on the year, but still winless in Big Ten play after two conference games.
Let’s take a brief look at the game against the Fighting Illini, Maryland’s third Big Ten opponent of the season.
