Iowa play-by-play announcer Gary Dolphin was suspended Friday for the rest of the men’s basketball season for referring to Maryland's Bruno Fernando as "King Kong" during a game. Hawkeye Sports Properties, the multimedia rights manager for Iowa's athletic program, announced the move hours before...
The second half of the Maryland men’s basketball game Tuesday at No. 21 Iowa seemed fitting for a program looking to end its 11-year, 27-game losing streak to ranked teams on the road. As hard as it might seem for a team to lose all those games considering some of the Maryland players who’ve been...
The University of Maryland has struggled to reverse recent declines in fan interest in the football program, which underwent a turbulent 2018 season after the heatstroke death of 19-year-old player Jordan McNair, a new document shows. Athletic event ticket sales and outside donations to the football...
Josh Jackson, who as a redshirt freshman quarterback at Virginia Tech two seasons ago threw for 20 touchdowns and nearly 3,000 yards, announced on Twitter on Monday night that he plans on transferring to Maryland. The announcement followed Jackson’s official visit to the Maryland campus last weekend...
Iowa women’s basketball star Megan Gustafson is used to drawing a lot of attention on the court. So Sunday was just business as usual. Gustafson scored 24 of her 31 points in the second half, and No. 14 Iowa beat No. 7 Maryland, 86-73, to move into a tie with the Terps atop the Big Ten. “They were...
Typically, freshmen basketball players play better at home than on the road, feeling more comfortable with an environment that features friendly fans and familiarity with the court.

In retrospect, No. 24 Maryland’s 13-point loss at No. 6 Michigan on Saturday shouldn’t come as a shock. The Wolverines have become a dominant home team the past two years, having won 22 straight games at Crisler Center, including 16 this season. They are now 9-1 at home in that two-year stretch...
Four days after holding No. 12 Purdue to 18 points in the second half of its biggest win of the season, No. 24 Maryland found itself in a similar defensive vise Saturday against No. 6 Michigan at Crisler Center. Having scored the fewest points in a half this season (18), the Terps extricated themselves...
As difficult as it is to simulate the offense of a player such as Purdue’s Carsen Edwards in practice, it is probably tougher to get a true gauge on the kind of defense Michigan employs as a team. Four days after figuring out how to stop the Big Ten’s leading scorer in the second half of Tuesday’s...
The Maryland men’s basketball office at Xfinity Center is church-quiet and eerily calm Sunday morning, given the roller-coaster nature of the Terps’ season. What has turned into the biggest game of the season — against No. 12 Purdue — is just two days away. Video coordinator Greg Manning Jr. and...
