What you need to know about Nebraska
The Huskers broke Rutgers' heart on Valentine's Day when they took an 87-72 victory from the Scarlet Knights on Tuesday. Nebraska's success was powered by guard Sam Griesel, who posted a double-double on 12 points and 11 rebounds. Guard Keisei Tominaga also had a strong performance, recording 22 points in the win.
Nebraska has shot better than 48% from the field in three of their last four games, and has twice held opponents to 40% or lower in two of those contests. Tominaga has been especially productive during that run, averaging 24.5 points while shooting 47.4% from beyond the 3-point line in his last four appearances. He could have a more difficult time hitting 3-pointers against the Terps, however, who have only allowed opponents to make 31.2% of their attempts from deep this season.
What you need to know about Maryland
Maryland should be riding high on Sunday after knocking off the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers in their last game on Thursday, 68-54. Young led the way on offense with 20 points and five rebounds. Julian Reese finished one rebound shy of a double-double, as he came away with 10 points and nine boards in the game.
One thing the Terps got away with in their last meeting with Nebraska was the 3-point shooting differential. Maryland made a pedestrian 34.8% of their shots from downtown, while the Huskers knocked down 42.9%. In the last meeting between the two sides, Donald Carey scored 16 points, but in the five games since then, he's only scored 18 total points.
