What else do we have brewing this morning?

🏀 B1G Tournament
🥍 Old foes
​🐢 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Tourney Time. No. 2 seed Maryland men’s basketball begins its run at the Big Ten Tournament today, taking on No. 7 seed Illinois at 6:30 p.m. from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis!

🔼 Old Foes. No. 1 Maryland men’s lacrosse visits long-time foe Virginia this weekend, taking on the No. 18 Cavaliers tomorrow at 4 p.m. for the 99th meeting between the two teams.

With a win, the Terps will move to 7-0 for the fourth time under head coach John Tillman since he was hired in 2011.

🔼 Stormed Back. Despite trailing 7-3 into the second quarter, No. 5 Maryland women’s lacrosse won big on the road against Penn State on Thursday, 19-11.

Three Terps scored hat tricks against the Nittany Lions — Jordyn Lipkin, Kori Edmondson and Shelby Sullivan.

🔼 Baseball In The Sun. Maryland baseball takes a break from Big Ten play this weekend to head south, taking on South Florida in a three-game series in Tampa, Fla.

The Bulls are 7-7 this season, losing two-of-three games last weekend to Villanova.

🔼 Jersey Joust. Maryland softball opens up Big Ten play on the road this weekend, traveling to the state of New Jersey for a three-game series at Rutgers.

The Scarlet Knights are 13-15 this season, but carry a four-game win streak into this weekend.

🔼 Last Dance. Maryland gymnastics closes out the regular season with a pair of competitions this weekend — the Terps are in Washington, D.C. today for the GW Tri Meet, and will return home on Sunday to host the Maryland Quad against Towson, George Washington and Yale.

🔼 Double Dip. Maryland women’s tennis plays another pair of Big Ten matches this weekend, traveling to take on Indiana (6-7) today at 3 p.m. and Purdue (7-3) on Sunday at 11 a.m.

🔼 Thank You, Terps! The University of Maryland raised over $5.3 million in philanthropic support during its annual Giving Day event, with Maryland Athletics garnering a top-three finish in total dollars ($609,197) and a top-four finish in total donors (686) among campus departments!

🐢 ONE BIG THING

🔼 Terrapin Loyalty. Julian Reese had a decision to make following Maryland basketball’s disappointing 2023-24 campaign. 

The star big man endured his second losing season in three years. In the latter, the Terps finished as a bottom-three team in the Big Ten despite being predicted to garner a top-three finish in the conference’s preseason media poll. 

Reese had every reason to enter the transfer portal and pursue a fresh start elsewhere, yet he didn’t.
