EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern returns home to Welsh-Ryan Arena to take on the No. 17 Maryland Terrapins. Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. on FS1 and can be heard on ESPN 1000.

Tuesday night marks the 11th all-time meeting between the Wildcats and Terrapins. Northwestern is seeking its first home win over Maryland. NU's last program win over Maryland came in the 2017 B1G tournament when NU stunned No. 3 seed Maryland, 72-64, to advance to the semifinals for the first time in program history.

STORYLINES

Last Time Out: Northwestern made 27 field goals at No. 24 Illinois. The most it has made in a Big Ten game this season. The Wildcats shot 27-for-60 (45%) from the field, their highest shooting percentage in a Big Ten game this season.

Beran is Ballin': In NU's first 12 games this season, Beran made one start and averaged 3.7 points, 14.2 minutes and 2.5 rebounds. In NU's last five games, Beran has made five starts and averaged 10.6 points, 29.6 minutes and 6.0 rebounds. Robbie Beran scored a career-high 17 points on a personal-best six made field goals and three triples at No. 24 Illinois.

Balanced Effort: The Wildcats had four players score in double figures in their matchup against Illinois. It was the first time since NU's win over Providence ( 11/14/19); Robbie Beran (17), Miller Kopp (16), Pat Spencer (14), Ryan Young (12).

QUOTABLES

"I see how much better we're getting and it's frustrating when the results aren't there but its part of the process.To see our guys developing the way they are is a huge positive but we're not a moral victory kind of program. We're going to keep fighting and keep sticking together."

- Sullivan-Ubben Head Men's Basketball Coach Chris Collins on coming up short

"You can either choose to stay down or get back up."

- First year Robbie Beran on his mentality
