How to Watch Indiana's Game at Maryland on Saturday Afternoon

Indiana has never won a game in College Park, losing six times here to Maryland through the years, including all four since the Terrapins joined the Big Ten. The Hoosiers will try to change that on Saturday. Here's how to watch the game, with TV information, the latest on the point spread, lineups, bios and several newsy nuggets.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — For all the success Indiana has had in its storied basketball history, beating Maryland in College Park isn't on the list. The Hoosiers are 0-6 here all time, and will try to beat the Terrapins on Saturday without guard Rob Phinisee, who will miss the game with a foot injury.

It's a huge road test for the Hoosiers, who are just 1-4 away from home this season, finally snapping an eight-game road losing streak at Nebraska on Jan, 17.  Maryland was struggling early in the season, and it cost Mark Turgeon his job. Danny Manning is the interim coach now, and the Terrapins have been playing better lately, beating Illinois and Rutgers in the past week.

Here's everything you need to know about the game, with tipoff time and TV information, the latest on the point spread, starting lineups, series history and so much more.

Nuggets to know

  • Nuggets to know, Part 1: Indiana is first in the Big Ten and 10th in country in field goal percentage defense (37.7%). The Hoosiers also lead the league in scoring defense (63.4) overall and in conference play (64.7). But they will be without guard Rob Phinisee (foot) on Saturday, and he is one of the Hoosiers' best perimeter defenders. 
  • Nuggets to know, Part 2: Trayce Jackson Davis had 15 points against Penn State on Sunday, and now sits at 1,317 career points, good for 30th place all-time. Jordan Hulls is next up at 1,318. For the complete list of 1,000-point scorers, CLICK HERE
  • Nuggets to know, Part 3: Indiana has no idea what it's like to travel to College Park and get a win, which is amazing. They are 0-6 overall. Two of the losses were forever ago — 1933 and 1934 — but the last four have come since Maryland joined the Big Ten in 2014. 
  • Nuggets to know, Part 4: Indiana point guard Xavier Johnson grew up in Woodbridge, Va., just 30 miles away from College Park. Both are Washington, D.C. suburbs. Johnson will have a lot of friends and family members at the game on Saturday.
  • INDIANA FAVORED: Indiana has struggled to win road game in the past several years, and finally ended an eight-game losing streak two weeks ago. That's why it's a bit surprising that the Hoosiers are a slight favorite at Maryland on Saturday, especially since the Terrapins have been playing well of late. Here's the latest on the point spread, and a full season history for both teams against the number. CLICK HERE
  • PHINISEE OUT WITH FOOT INJURY: Indiana senior guard Rob Phinisee suffered a foot injury on Wednesday, and has plantar fasciitis. He will miss Saturday's game at Maryland, and with Khristian Lander still ailing, coach Mike Woodson may have to look for alternatives at the point guard spot behind Xavier Johnson. CLICK HERE
  • INDIANA TOPS PENN STATE: Indiana came out of the gates blazing, and cruised to an easy 74-57 victory over Penn State on Wednesday night at Assembly Hall, getting their 15th win of the year. CLICK HERE
