The Maryland men's basketball team hosts Northwestern on Tuesday night. It's the second meeting between the teams in 17 days – an unusually tight window in the Big Ten schedule – and a chance for Maryland to move to 17-2 ahead of two big-ticket games against Michigan State and Iowa. Tipoff is at 8 p.m. EST on the Big Ten Network and BTN2Go.
Northwestern looked to be on the upswing when Maryland visited on Jan. 2, but the Terps' dominating win that night started a Wildcats slide. They've lost two of four games since then, including dueling 9-point home defeats to Ohio State and Penn State.
