The Maryland Terrapins have survived a pair of scares in the young college hoops season after topping Georgetown and Rider and will be looking to keep their perfect record intact Tuesday versus the Illinois State Redbirds in the semifinal matchup of the Cancun Challenge in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Illinois State doesn't have the best track record against Big Ten teams, going 7-24 all-time against the conference. The Sportsbook of the game will face either Rhode Island or TCU in Wednesday’s title game.
It’s early, but the absence of sophomore guard Dion Wiley – a projected starter who was lost to a knee injury before the season started – has been evident for the Terrapins.
