Preview: Indiana Looks to Continue Hot Start at Maryland COLLEGE PARK, Md. (Interstat) â The surging Indiana Hoosiers visit the struggling Maryland Terrapins in a Big Ten Conference menâs basketball matchup Wednesday night at Xfinity Center. Indiana (11-3, 1-0 Big Ten) enters on a three-game winning streak, most recently defeating Washington 90-80 on Sunday. The Hoosiersâ offense has been potent, averaging 86.2 points in their last five contests. Guard Tayton Conerway has been a key catalyst, averaging 13.8 points and 3.8 assists over that stretch. He scored 20 points in 22 minutes off the bench in the win over Washington. Maryland (6-7, 0-1) seeks to rebound from a 64-54 home loss to Oregon on Jan. 2, which extended its losing streak to three games. The Terrapins have struggled against high-major competition, with all seven losses coming against power-conference opponents. Forward Solomon Washington has provided a bright spot, averaging 13 points over his last four games and posting 17 points and two blocks against Oregon. The Hoosiersâ balanced attack also features Lamar Wilkerson, who scored 22 points against Washington, and Conor Enright, who dished nine assists in that game. Indianaâs early success includes an 86-69 victory over Kansas State. Marylandâs schedule has been arduous, featuring losses to then-Gonzaga, Alabama and Michigan. The Terrapinsâ defense, which allowed Oregon to shoot 48% in the second half, will be tested by Indianaâs efficient offense. This game opens a tough two-game road stretch for Indiana, which visits Michigan State on Jan. 13. Maryland begins a pivotal West Coast road trip at UCLA on Saturday. Wednesdayâs contest tips off at 7 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
