On the other hand, Maryland has been just as formidable, boasting a 21-6 record and an 11-5 conference record, which places them third in the Big Ten. The Terrapins opened the season strong, racing out to an 11-2 start before suffering back-to-back losses. Since then, they’ve been on a tear, winning 10 of their last 12 games, including a notable triumph over Rutgers.
