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.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
