Maryland Basketball's '24-'25 Big Ten Opponents Revealed

In an exciting announcement by the Big Ten, the upcoming basketball season schedule for Maryland has been revealed. The Terps will face a mix of familiar conference rivals and exciting new opponents as part of the conference's westward expansion.

For the first time as conference foes, Maryland will take on the Pac 12 imports - Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA. This adds an intriguing element to the schedule and paves the way for thrilling matchups on the court.

The schedule breakdown shows that the Terps will have home-and-home series against Nebraska, Northwestern, and Ohio State. This appears to be advantageous for Maryland as they aim to maximize their win total. Fortunately, they won't have to face the conference's top programs twice, but this also means fewer opportunities for marquee wins.

When it comes to home-only opponents, Maryland will go up against Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan State, Rutgers, Wisconsin, UCLA, and USC. These games present a mix of big-name opponents and favorable matchups for the Terps. It's worth noting that if Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, decides to return to USC instead of entering the NBA Draft, fans will be treated to a close-up look at the young talent.

On the road, the Terps will face tough challenges against Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, and the conference newcomers Oregon and Washington. This slate includes some of the conference's most formidable away venues, promising intense contests for Maryland. They will also be seeking redemption against Penn State, where they have suffered seven consecutive losses.

Maryland's roster for the upcoming season features notable returning players such as rising senior Julian Reese, rising sophomore DeShawn Harris-Smith, and fifth-year senior Jordan Geronimo. The team has also secured an impressive incoming transfer class, including players like Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Selton Miguel, Rodney Rice, Tafara Gapare, five-star McDonald's All-American Derik Queen, and four-star guard Malachi Palmer.

While the non-conference schedule, game dates, times, and TV assignments are yet to be announced, season tickets for the 2024-25 season are now available for purchase. Fans can secure their seats starting at $199, with special discounts offered to Maryland Young Alumni and current Maryland Parents.
