🔼 A Day To Celebrate. This Sunday is going to be special at XFINITY Center — not only is Maryland men’s basketball playing host to Michigan State on CBS, but the game will also serve as a celebration for the legendary career of former Maryland basketball coach Lefty Driesell.

🔼 Home Cookin’. Maryland women’s basketball is right back at the XFINITY Center tomorrow against Illinois.

The Terps, who lost their first home game of the season this week against Ohio State, have an opportunity to bounce back against the Illini, who are 8-8 on the year and 2-4 in Big Ten play.

And make sure to get in on multiple promotions for the game:

• Paint It GOLD: Fans are encouraged to wear GOLD as the team takes on Illinois

• Paint Party: Grab a canvas and paint! Fans are invited to a paint party prior to tipoff.

• 2014 Final Four Team Celebration: Celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the 2014 Final Four Team!

🔼 Wrestling Heads West. Maryland wrestling hits the road this weekend for a pair of Big Ten duals — the Terps are in Columbus, Ohio today to grapple with the No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes, and will be in Bloomington, Indiana on Sunday for a showdown with the Hoosiers.

🔼 Gymnastics At Knight. It’s time for Maryland gymnastics’ first Big Ten dual of the season!

The Terps host Rutgers (3-3) tonight at 8 p.m. for a LGBTQ+ PRIDE Celebration meet, which will feature multiple promotions.

🔼 Race Ya There. Maryland track & field is back at it this weekend, traveling to Blacksburg, Va. to compete at the Hokie Invitational, hosted by Virginia Tech.

The Terps are looking to build off last weekend’s performance at the Nittany Lion Challenge, where three athletes added their names to the Maryland track & field record books.

🔼 Tennis Time. That’s right — it’s finally time to play some tennis!

Maryland women’s tennis gets its season underway tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. when Georgetown comes to town.
