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...
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.

Maryland fans have complained since the Terps joined the Big Ten five years ago about the lack of rivalries, because of the league’s imbalanced schedule as well as the physical distance between their school and the other 13. In terms of how the games played out, the matchups between Maryland and...
When Maryland lost by two points at Purdue on Dec. 6, coach Mark Turgeon’s biggest point leaving Mackey Arena was how young his team played, particularly with the game on the line.

Maryland won its first two games against Purdue as a member of the Big Ten, but it seemed like ancient history, with the Boilermakers winning five straight before Tuesday night’s matchup at Xfinity Center. Trailing the No. 12 Boilermakers after a slow start, the No. 24 Terps seemed to headed for...

Four-star DeMatha safety Nick Cross signed with Maryland on Tuesday, giving the Terps and first-year coach Mike Locksley a huge late boost in the Class of 2019. The top-rated player in Maryland, Cross had been committed to Florida State since September but did not sign with the Seminoles during...
