•  Maryland's 58.1% field goal percentage against the Buckeyes was its best in Big Ten play this season, while the team's 64.7% (11-17) three-point field goal percentage was its best this year. Maryland's 64.7% clip from beyond the arc was its best since shooting 68.8% (11-16) vs. Wake Forest on February 2, 2013 (min. 10 made).  

•  The Terps are looking to match their best start in Big Ten history with a victory over Michigan State, after a win over Ohio State moved Maryland to 7-1 in Big Ten play. The Terps previously got off to an 8-1 start in B1G games during the 2016-17 season under head coach Mark Turgeon.

•  The Terrapins' consecutive road wins over Rutgers, Minnesota and Ohio State marked the first time the program secured three straight conference road games by double digits since defeating Wake Forest (74-55), Virginia (66-42) and Georgia Tech (74-63) during the 2010-11 season.

•  Cowan is averaging 23.0 points, 5.25 assists and 5.3 rebounds the past four games in wins over Minnesota, #22 Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio State.
