Maryland men’s basketball to play at James Madison on Saturday after game vs. Towson is canceled

The Maryland men’s basketball team will play at James Madison at 3 p.m. Saturday, the school announced Tuesday, replacing a previously scheduled game with Towson that was canceled because of a positive COVID-19 test within the Tigers’ program.

The game, which will be broadcast on NBC Sports Washington, will be just the second all-time meeting between the Terps and Dukes. In the only meeting between the two programs, Maryland defeated James Madison, 90-76, on Jan. 28, 1987, in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

However, it will be a short turnaround for the Terps, who host George Mason at the Xfinity Center at 3 p.
