    Maryland (13-9, 3-5) at Clemson (11-11, 3-5)
    Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012 | 7 p.m. | Clemson, S.C. (Littlejohn Coliseum)
    ESPNU | Terrapin Sports Radio Network

  • Maryland travels to Clemson on Tuesday night for a nationally televised contest to be shown on ESPNU. The Terrapins and Tigers are in a tie for seventh place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 3-5 records. The Terps come into the game having dropped five of their last six, with four of those losses coming to teams receiving votes in the most recent polls. Clemson has lost five of its last seven, with four of those losses having come by four points or less. This meeting is the only one of the regular season between the Terps and Tigers.

  • Senior guard Sean Mosley is one point away from becoming the 50th Terrapin in history with 1,000 career points. He is the first to reach the plateau since Landon Milbourne in the 2009-10 season, when Milbourne and Eric Hayes each reached the mark. Mosley will be one of eight players in Maryland history to combine 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 120 steals, with the last being current New Orleans Hornets guard Greivis Vasquez.

  • Sophomore guard Terrell Stoglin is working on a string of 20 straight games with double figures in points, and a three-game string of games with at least 20 points. He's hit the 20-point mark 16 times this season, with Maryland being 10-6 in those games. Stoglin is closing on 100 3-pointers in his two-year career and could become only the 16th Terrapin in history with triple figures in "triples."

  • The Terrapins have six games on the road in the month of February, with the matchup Tuesday at Clemson being the second of those six. Maryland lost at Miami in double overtime on 2/1. The Terrapins are 0-4 this season in road games. Dating back to last season, the Terps have dropped eight straight on the road, with their last victory being a 74-63 win at Georgia Tech on 1/30/2011.

    Scouting the Tigers

  • Clemson is 11-11 and 3-5 in the ACC after a pair of close conference losses last week... The Tigers fell at No.16 Virginia 65-61 last Tuesday and at Virginia Tech 67-65 on Saturday.

  • Senior guard Andre Young leads the Tigers in scoring with a 13.6 points-per-game average, and ranks second in the ACC with a 3.1 assist-to-turnover ratio... Young is second on the team in assists (3.4 apg), with Tanner Smith leading the team and tying for third in the conference with 4.0 apg... Smith, a senior guard, is also contributing 11.1 ppg.

  • Devin Booker is the third Tiger scoring in double figures, coming into Tuesday's game averaging 10.9 ppg... Booker is shooting 47.9 percent from the field and leads Clemson with 6.7 rebounds per game...

  • Freshman forward KJ McDaniels joins Booker in the frontcourt and is coming off a 14-point, 5-rebound, 5-block performance against Virginia Tech.

    Upcoming
