Preview: Washington Huskies at Maryland Terrapins COLLEGE PARK, Md. (Interstat) — Two Big Ten men’s basketball teams seeking consistency will meet Saturday when the Washington Huskies visit the Maryland Terrapins at Xfinity Center. The Huskies (13-13 overall) arrive after a 69-57 home victory over Minnesota on Feb. 14, which snapped a three-game skid. The Terrapins (9-16) are looking to rebound from a narrow 78-74 road loss at Northwestern on Wednesday. The matchup features two of the conference’s standout individual performers in Washington guard Hannes Steinbach and Maryland guard Andre Mills, setting the stage for a high-scoring duel. Steinbach has been the engine for Washington, averaging 21.0 points over his last seven games. He is coming off a 26-point, two-assist, two-block effort in 39 minutes against the Golden Gophers. The junior has logged at least 37 minutes in six of those seven contests, demonstrating his critical role. Mills counters with explosive scoring ability for Maryland. He erupted for a career-high 39 points on 14-of-22 shooting in the loss to Northwestern, single-handedly keeping the Terps competitive. That performance followed a 24-point outing in a win over Iowa on Feb. 11. His scoring output, however, has fluctuated, with three single-digit games in the last month. Both teams have struggled for traction in conference play. Washington’s win over Minnesota was just its fourth in its last ten games. Maryland has lost four of its last five, with the lone victory in that stretch being the 77-70 triumph over Iowa. The Huskies will rely on secondary scoring from guards Zoom Diallo and Quimari Peterson, who combined for 22 points in the last outing. Maryland will need more production beyond Mills; forward Solomon Washington (11 points, 4 assists vs. Northwestern) is a key contributor. Historically, this is a non-conference series turned conference matchup due to recent realignment. The game tips off at 4:30 p.m. EST Saturday as part of the Big Ten’s regular-season schedule. For Washington, this begins a two-game East Coast road trip before returning home to face Wisconsin. Maryland continues a challenging stretch, playing its second of three games in seven days.
