How to watch Maryland basketball vs. Nebraska

After a 69-61 loss at then-No. 24 Wisconsin Friday night, Maryland men’s basketball heads to Lincoln to take on Nebraska. The Terps led for a majority of Friday’s contest, but the Badgers’ hot three-point shooting in the second half allowed them to close out the game. It was the start of a stretch where Maryland plays four of five games on the road, and that stretch continues tonight in Lincoln.

The Terps beat the then-No. 24 Huskers 74-72 in the Xfinity Center on Jan. 2, with Jalen Smith scoring the last seven points. Smith’s floater with 3.8 seconds to go gave Maryland its first win over a ranked opponent in nearly three years. It was the second of seven straight wins for the Terps, while Nebraska has never really been the same since. The Huskers have lost seven of their last nine games since Big Ten play resumed, including the last five. To make matters worse, second-leading scorer Isaac Copeland tore his ACL against Ohio State on Jan. 26, the latest blow in what supposed to be a promising season.
