Maryland Basketball's Next 3 B1G Opponents

Terps basketball is off to their best start in program history at 15-1 with about a month and a half left to go in the regular season. The Terps are 4-0 so far to start the season with their next three opponents coming with one game away from Xfinity center, then their next two come at home. Let’s take a look at their next three opponents.

January 12th - at Michigan

Last season, Michigan came to College Park for Maryland Senior Day, where the Terps defeated the Wolverines 66-56. This season the Wolverines come in at 12-4 and 2-1 in the Big Ten, sitting at sixth place currently in the Big Ten. Chris Levert is their leading scorer who averages 17.6 points a game. Michigan’s one threat is that they are tremendous three point shooters. If Maryland can keep them honest from behind the arc, I see no problem with them taking this game

January 16th - Home vs. Ohio State

The Terps suffered an embarrassing loss last year to Ohio State, losing 56-80. However, the Buckeyes travel to Maryland this year, currently 11-6 and 3-1 in the Big Ten, currently tied for fourth place. They will be looking to beat Maryland for the second straight year, while the Terps will be looking for revenge. The Bucks highest scorer is Marc Loving, who averages 14.7 points a game and has 51 more points than anyone else on the team. The Terps scoring ability should give them the edge in this one, because of Ohio State’s D’Angelo Russell departing for the draft and the Buckeyes haven’t been able to replace that scoring ability.

January 19th - Home vs. Northwestern

The Terps absolutely routed the Wildcats this year, 72-59 behind Rasheed Sulaimon going a perfect shooting percentage from the field and solid defense and rebounding from senior Jake Layman. Now the Wildcats come to College Park for a chance to even the score; last time they came to Maryland, Dez Wells stunned all of Northwestern with a last second tip-in. If the Terps are still undefeated in the Big Ten at this point, they will be 18-1 with a victory over the Wildcats and a perfect 7-0 in the Big Ten.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
