Of the 119 times that Maryland and Johns Hopkins have played one another, Thursday night marks the first time that the two teams have played each other in back-to-back games.
The then-No. 2 Terps fell to Hopkins in College Park on Saturday night in the final game of the regular season, helping secure a spot for the Blue Jays in the Big Ten tournament and a rematch with Maryland the following week. Maryland opened up a 5-1 lead over the Jays late in the first quarter, but was outscored 15-6 from that point on.
“We certainly did some things well early,” head coach John Tillman said.
