Terps in the NFL Wild Card Weekend: Moore’s game-winning score keeps Bears alive
The NFL Wild Card Weekend came to a close with five Maryland alumni seeing the field. Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had a late-game resurgence in a comeback 31-27 win over the Green Bay Packers. Despite no gain while being featured in the run game, and a slow start overall, the veteran wideout caught […]
MM 1.16: Sidney Stewart named a FWAA 2025 Freshman All-American
Sidney Stewart terrorized opposing quarterbacks better than almost any other edge in the country, as the Terps built their season around a talented freshman class. His play captured plenty of attention nationally, earning him FWAA 2025 Freshman All-American honors on Wednesday. This comes days after Stewart was listed by ESPN as one of the top […]
No. 12 Maryland women’s basketball sneaks past USC, 62-55
Throughout all of Thursday’s game, No. 12 Maryland women’s basketball searched for a shot to gain a slight edge over USC. It was a grind. The Terps played into USC’s gameplan, and the contest was extremely low scoring. Until the final minute, Maryland’s largest lead was five points. The game was tied at 54 with […]
Game thread: Maryland women’s basketball at USC
For the first time in program history, Maryland women’s basketball is in California for a Big Ten conference matchup. Will that ever not feel weird? The Terps and USC tip off at 9 p.m. ET. This is your space for thoughts, observations or whatever you would like to share, but please be respectful.
No. 12 Maryland women’s basketball vs. USC preview
Maryland women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese felt like her team lost a battle it rarely does in its loss against No. 14 Ohio State on Sunday: physicality. She knows that can’t happen again when the Terps play USC in Los Angeles on Thursday night. “It’s going to be a physical style of play,” Frese […]
MM 1.14: 2 former Maryland women’s lacrosse players inducted into National Lacrosse Hall of Fame
Note from Matt Germack: Apologies for the wonkiness of our publishing schedule these past 2 weeks. All three of us have been in London for a UMD journalism college reporting project; that ended today. Ryan and Nolan are back, but I’ll be here for another 2 weeks, so may still be some disruption through then. […]
Takeaways from Maryland men’s basketball’s 88-71 road loss to USC
Maryland men’s basketball’s late-night bout against USC saw the Terps drop their sixth straight Big Ten game. They came up against a physically impressive opponent and were unable to mount any sort of a comeback. Here are three takeaways from the game. Coit can still go off… but at the expense of everyone else Diggy […]
Maryland men’s basketball fizzles out against USC, 88-71
Maryland men’s basketball saw things slip away in real time. Down six to USC with just over seven minutes left, some of the Terps’ prominent weaknesses hampered it from securing their first Big Ten win. First, Maryland’s lack of size was exposed inside, as Jaden Brownell spun for a flush at the rim. On the […]
Game thread: Maryland men’s basketball at USC
Hope you’ve had your evening coffee! Maryland men’s basketball’s West Coast road trip ends with a matchup against USC — without Rodney Rice, who’s out for the year with a shoulder injury. Tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. This is your space for thoughts, observations or whatever you would like to share, but please […]
Maryland men’s basketball vs. USC preview
There are 15 more games in Maryland men’s basketball’s regular season. BartTorvik only favors the Terps in two of them: against Penn State and Rutgers. A season with single-digit wins is becoming increasingly possible, if not likely. Watching that caliber of basketball can be unenjoyable — even more so when it takes place late into […]
MM 1.13: Maryland women’s soccer locks up five transfer portal additions for 2026
After another unimpressive season, Maryland women’s soccer head coach Michael Marchiano made a commitment to bridge a glaring “talent gap” between the Terps and the rest of the Big Ten. After picking up seven high school recruits, Marchiano was able to secure another five fresh faces via the transfer portal. Incoming sophomore Lilly Bane logged […]
Takeaways from No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball’s 89-76 loss to No. 19 Ohio State
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball suffered its second loss of the season on Sunday, 89-76, to No. 19 Ohio State. For the first time this season, the Terps were clearly the inferior group, and a blown 15-point first-half lead will leave head coach Brenda Frese searching for answers. Here are three takeaways from Sunday’s loss. […]
MM 1.12: Former Maryland football player Lavon Johnson returns to College Park
For what is surely not the last time in the new era of college football, Maryland football is set to see a familiar face emerge from the tunnel at SECU Stadium once again in 2026. Defensive tackle Lavon Johnson, who played for Maryland for the first two seasons of his career, transferred to the University […]
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball falls to No. 19 Ohio State, 89-76
Maryland women’s basketball head coach Brenda Frese called a timeout with five and a half minutes on the clock against Ohio State. Her team was down six points and needed a spark. Freshman guard Rainey Welson got to an open pull-up midrange off the dribble that went halfway down, then rattled out. On the other […]

Maryland men’s basketball trampled by UCLA, 67-55
Maryland men’s basketball continues to shoot its way out of basketball games. After going down by 17 at the half against UCLA, the Terps somehow found themselves down by only six points with six minutes left to play. But that’s when the shooting problems that have plagued Maryland so often popped up once again. From […]
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball vs. No. 19 Ohio State preview
Last March, No. 19 Ohio State visited College Park and fought tightly with No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball, knotting the score at 90 with seven seconds remaining in regulation. But Sarah Te-Biasu rushed up the court and released a floater that beat the Buckeyes and sparked a run to the Sweet 16. Heading into Sunday’s […]
Maryland men’s basketball vs. UCLA preview
Maryland men’s basketball’s season seems to be in free fall. The Terps have lost their past seven games against high-major opponents. Unfortunately for them, every team in the Big Ten is a high-major opponent. And they’re all that’s left on the schedule. Next up for Maryland is a road trip to UCLA, a team that’s […]
Takeaways from No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball’s 88-41 domination of Rutgers
Maryland women’s basketball made a quick trip north to Piscataway, New Jersey, to collect its second conference road win of the season against Rutgers.

MM 1.9: Sidney Stewart named one of ESPN’s top 25 freshmen
Sidney Stewart was named ESPN’s 19th-best freshmen in the country for the past season, in a list released Wednesday. It’s hard to argue with the former three-star’s inclusion. Stewart exploded onto the scene in 2025, posting 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss in his first four games en route to seven sacks and 10.5 […]
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball flattens Rutgers, 88-41
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball came into Thursday’s game against Rutgers shooting 33.5% from beyond the arc. The Terps had been solid from deep all season, but they hadn’t boasted a performance quite like they did in Piscataway. It was a 3-point barrage. Maryland ultimately made a season-high 16 3-pointers en route […]
MM 1.8: Maryland football lands transfer wide receiver from Wyoming
Wyoming wide receiver Chris Durr Jr. transferred to Maryland football Wednesday, according to 247Sports. Durr is the second wide receiver to commit to the Terps this cycle, joining Old Dominion’s Na’eem Abdul-Rahim Gladding. Last season as a sophomore, the 5-foot-10 Durr caught 45 passes for 469 yards and four touchdowns. As a freshman in 2024, […]
Maryland men’s basketball toppled by Indiana, 84-66
Down by five points heading into the second half, Maryland men’s basketball needed a spark to propel it over Indiana on its home court and secure its first Big Ten win. But the only spark in Xfinity Center Wednesday came from the away team bench. Lamar Wilkerson’s second half showing demonstrated exactly why he’s the […]
Game thread: Maryland men’s basketball vs. Indiana
Apologies for delay. Nolan and I are in London for a UMD program for the next 2 weeks, so timing on things might be a bit wonky until then.
No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball at Rutgers preview
When No. 8 Maryland women’s basketball’s Big Ten schedule was released, Thursday’s matchup at Rutgers was supposed to mean more for one of its stars. It was not meant to be. Kaylene Smikle, who spent the first two seasons of her collegiate career with the Scarlet Knights, was slated to return to Jersey Mike’s Arena. […]
