The Fighting Illini enter the game with a 6-1 record, their only loss coming to No. 3 Virginia. They already have an impressive win on their resume in the form of a nine-point victory over No. 21 UCLA, who the Terps will host on Dec. 14. The Illini are led by Texas Tech transfer Terrence Shannon Jr., who is averaging almost 20 points per game.

This will be the Terps’ first test against a ranked opponent as well as their first conference game. They have completely dominated every game they have played this season, winning each by at least 16 points. XFINITY Center should see one of its best crowds in years, with student tickets being sold out for multiple days and few general public tickets available.
