Maryland will play 13 times on national television in 2006-07 in games that will be broadcast over the ESPN family of networks, on Fox Sports Net or on ABC. The Terrapins have a Saturday afternoon matchup at Comcast Center on March 3 with NC State that will be aired on ABC.
"The games start early this year with the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic," said Gary Williams, who will coach his alma mater for the 18th season. "That leads us into the ACC/Big 10 Challenge and the BB&T Classic. We also play an early-season game with Boston College.
"It's a tough schedule early this year and hopefully that will prepare us for the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule," said Williams.
Maryland will be the host to one of four regionals in the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic, with the Terps facing Hampton at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 7. New Orleans and Vermont will play in the opening game that day.
The winner of the College Park Regional will advance to Madison Square Garden on Nov. 16 and 17 for the championship rounds of the tournament. Michigan State and Texas, each of which were in the postseason last year, join Saint John's as regional hosts of the 16-team tournament.
Maryland will play at Illinois on Nov. 28 in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge, then will turn around and face Notre Dame at Verizon Center on Dec. 3 in the BB&T Classic. The Terrapins open their ACC slate on Dec. 10 at Boston College in a game to be televised nationally by Fox Sports Net.
The Terrapins will have a seven-game homestand from a Dec. 13 date with UMKC through Jan. 13 when they host Clemson.
The Terps will open the season with a pair of exhibition games at home. Maryland will play Division II California University of Pennsylvania on Nov. 1 and will host a Canadian squad on Nov. 4.
In its 16-game ACC schedule, the Terrapins have home-and-home matchups with Duke, Virginia, Clemson, Florida State and NC State. In conference games at home, the Terps will also play Miami, Georgia Tech and North Carolina. Maryland will play its only regular-season league meetings against Boston College, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest on the road.
