The Maryland men's basketball team hosts Iowa on Thursday night. It's going to be good.
The Terrapins and Hawkeyes, on paper, are about to play the Big Ten's premier game of this season. It pits an emergent, elite Iowa team that's steamrolled almost its entire schedule against a flawed but outrageously talented Maryland team that hasn't lost at Xfinity Center since Dec. 3, 2014 – almost 14 months ago. Against Iowa, Maryland's 24-game home winning streak is very much on the line.
The Hawkeyes beat Purdue on Sunday, 83-71, while Maryland lost on Saturday at Michigan State.
