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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
