The Terps are coming off of a ranked win over No. 24 Ohio State on Jan. 8. Kevin Willard has his team sitting in a good position halfway through his first year at the helm. It won’t get any easier for them as they travel to Iowa City to face the Hawkeyes, however.
Iowa comes into the game on a three-game win streak beating Indiana, Rutgers, and Michigan all in a row.
Both teams come into the matchup with 11 wins on the year so far. Maryland could miss the experience that the St. Francis (NY) transfer brings.
Tipoff will be at 4:30 p.m. ET, with the game being shown on BTN.
