MM 12.28: How to watch Maryland men’s basketball vs No. 6 Wisconsin

Maryland men’s basketball looks for its first Big Ten victory of the season as it takes on the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers Monday night.

The Terps fell to Purdue, 73-70, on Friday afternoon. While Maryland never led, it fought back from a 15-point deficit to tie the game in its final minute. Donta Scott posted 15 points and eight rebounds, both team highs.

In its last two games, Maryland has only turned the ball over nine times. But the Terps shot just 10-for-21 from the free throw line against the Boilermakers, including a pair of misses by Darryl Morsell when facing a two-point deficit with 17 seconds left.

Wisconsin has won its last five games, including an 85-76 win over No. 12 Michigan State on Friday — its first victory in East Lansing since 2004. During the team’s current five-game win streak, Brad Davison is averaging 15 points per game. The Badgers’ only loss this season was a 67-65 defeat by Marquette.

Micah Potter, D’Mitrik Trice, Nate Reuvers, Aleem Ford and Davison are all averaging more than nine points per game this season, and Potter is leading the team with 7.1 rebounds per game.

After facing off in Madison and College Park — at Ritchie Coliseum — in 1931 and 1932, respectively, the teams didn’t meet again until 2000. The Badgers have taken three of their last four matchups, including a 56-54 victory over a ranked Maryland squad in January.

Tonight’s game tips off at 7 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports 1.
