Maryland men’s basketball (7-4, 1-1 Big Ten) is headed to Los Angeles, where a blue blood awaits. The Terps will face UCLA on Friday, the second and final leg of a home-and-home agreement that began last year.
Coppin State, Maryland’s final nonconference opponent, is one of the worst teams in Division I, so this will be the Terps’ last chance to tune themselves up against high-level competition before Big Ten play awaits.
Friday’s game will tip off at 9 p.m. ET and air on ESPN.
UCLA Bruins (5-5, 0-0 Pac-12)
2022-23 record: 31-6, 18-2 Pac-12
For the most part, UCLA has found significant success in its five seasons under Mick Cronin.
