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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
