🔼 Welcome, Wildcats. The season grows shorter, and the importance of each game grows — Maryland men’s basketball is at home tonight, taking on a Northwestern team at 7 p.m. that currently sits in a tie for third place in the Big Ten at 10-6 in conference play.

🔼 Over Early. Maryland baseball scored seven runs on one hit in the first inning against Georgetown on Tuesday, and the Terps were off and running from there in a 14-5 win over the Hoyas.

Alex Calarco led the Terp offense, driving in four runs on two hits and scoring two runs, while Kevin Keister and Sam Hojnar both hit home runs.

Maryland is back on the diamond again today, taking on VCU in Richmond, Va. at 1 p.m.
