Penn State visits winless Maryland in a key Big Ten matchup amid key injuries and shared winless conference records.

Penn State visits Maryland in a crucial Big Ten game as both winless teams (0-6 in conference) seek their first league victory. Maryland is without top scorer Pharrel Payne due to a knee injury, while Penn State is missing leading scorer Kayden Mingo from a broken nose and may also be without Freddie Dilione V, who injured his ankle. Both teams have lost four straight and seven of their last eight, with Penn State narrowly losing close games and Maryland struggling offensively, ranking last in the Big Ten in field goal and three-point shooting while averaging 13.2 turnovers per game.
