20. Maryland Terrapins

Previous Ranking: 22

Record: 20-2 (8-1 Big Ten)

Maryland remains in a tie for the lead in the Big Ten after taking down both Minnesota and Ohio State on the road. The Terps will host ranked Purdue next on Saturday in what should be a big game for both programs.

As good as star Melo Trimble has been, it’s been Justin Jackson stirring the Terrapins coffee lately. The freshman scored 28 and 22 in the last two victories, respectively. He is definitely one of the best freshmen in the Big Ten and is a big reason why Maryland hasn’t struggled too heavily replacing four starters. This team is a Sweet 16 squad right now.
