Northwestern (19-8, 10-6 Big Ten) is on the road after their 'bye week' to play at Maryland (15-13, 7-10 Big Ten). The game will air on BTN.

The Wildcats are looking for their 20th win of the season and a season sweep of the Terrapins, but will likely be without starting shooting guard Ryan Langborg, who did not dress for warm ups.

If we win tonight without Langborg, Collins should get Coach of the Year, hard stop.

I’m sure this is carryover from the Michigan game… when he came back in… but consider me quite concerned. Perhaps Collins looking at 2-2 and a healthy Borg given the Roper situation last year. UGH. We can still win this though. Almost beat Rutgers without him. Need Brooks to step up above all.

This is the kind of game that we can without Langborg since Maryland is pretty weak offensively outside of Young. Gotta make it ugly and Boo’s going to have one of his great games.

This is a big injury though. No way around it. Hopefully he is back Saturday. With the way Iowa can score, we can’t afford losing him for that one too.

I am believing less. It’s normal offense suffers ,but we can’t get anything fluid. At all. Neither can Maryland but I expect them, at some point, to go on a run.

Anytime young has the ball they call a follow. Who has the ball and he gets clobbered and they don't call one. I guess young is the Superstar of this league.

He's taken just one shot. I'm glad he made it, and he's doing a lot of other things well, but yeah, NU can use his offense too.

He must’ve heard you, he finished the half strong. I’ll take a five point lead at halftime but it feels it could’ve been more.

I assume "Who" is "Boo," but I'd also accept HIM.

I know Jahmir is drawing a lot of fouls and scoring a lot from the line, but you have to tip your hat to Smith and company for holding him to just one field goal.

That said, he did most of his damage last game in the second half (I think 28 points), so NU still has a lot of work to do.

Maryland is 1 of 14 on three point shots. They'll start hitting some eventually. NU needs to be aggressive and get the Terps in foul trouble. Get into the bonus early.
