After earning victories over Holy Cross and Rhode Island, No. 7 Maryland men's basketball looks to start 3-0 for the sixth consecutive season with a Saturday matchup against Oakland.
The two teams have only faced each other once prior. Ranked No. 15 at the time, Maryland coasted to a 72-56 victory over Oakland in the fifth game of the 2014-15 season.
And though the Golden Grizzlies don’t appear like much of a threat, No. 1 Kentucky’s upset loss to Evansville is a reminder for the Terps to stay on their heels.
“Each time we play, we’ll get used to being the big game for that team in the preseason because you’ve got that number in front of your name,” head coach Mark Turgeon said Friday.
