What to watch for the Terps: The two sophomores
After some uncharacteristic hiccups during Maryland’s three-game losing streak, Anthony Cowan and Kevin Huerter finally clicked again to help the Terps beat Wisconsin on Sunday. The two guards combined for 42 points on 14-of-26 shooting against the Badgers. Mark Turgeon will need his two leading scorers to stay hot if he wants to come away with the victory in University Park.

What to watch for the Nittany Lions: The other two sophomores
Turgeon isn’t the only one who’s leaned on his second-year players. Tony Carr and Lamar Stevens have put up a combined 831 points this year — that’s more than 40 percent of all Penn State’s scoring. During conference play, Carr has made 39.1 percent of his threes, while Stevens has shot 48.6 percent from the field against Big Ten foes. Keeping the Nittany Lions’ point guard and stretch four in check will be key for the Terps.
