Following a massive victory over No. 17 Wisconsin on Wednesday night, folks around the country are starting to take notice of what's happening in College Park w

Prominent ESPN host Scott Van Pelt had a front-row seat to Maryland basketball's 76-68 win over Wisconsin on Wednesday. That is stated literally -- Van Pelt sat courtside as the Terrapins rode a 44-37 second half to the eight-point win.

Maryland's big second-half run began with a 3-pointer from an unlikely source. DeShawn Harris-Smith, who was just 4 for 22 from long distance on the season, scored from beyond the arc with the Terrapins down five.

No. 17 Wisconsin visits the Maryland Terrapins after John Tonje scored 27 points in the Badgers' 83-55 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Wisconsin arguably lost Wednesday's game on the margins. Maryland shot a tick better from the floor (40% vs. 37.3%) and much better from three (50% vs. 33.3%). But the close score accurately depicts a game that hung in the balance until the final minutes. The Badgers lost due to two key areas: turnovers and free-throw shooting.

Penn State hosts the No. 14 Maryland Terrapins after Moriah Murray scored 21 points in Penn State's 77-73 loss to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

In nearby Baton Rouge, LSU’s fifth-ranked women’s basketball team was unable to fly on Wednesday to Columbia, South Carolina, so the Southeastern Conference chose to postpone the Tigers' game at the No. 2 Gamecocks from Thursday night until Friday evening.

Despite a dominant performance from redshirt sophomore Gracie Merkle and an electric fourth-quarter comeback attempt, the Penn State women’s basketball team ultimately dropped an 82-73 decision to the No.
