Tuesday, Jan. 17

Maryland (12-4, 2-1) at Florida State (11-6, 2-1)
When: 9 p.m.
Where: Tallahassee, FL, Tucker Center (12,100)
Fast break: This is a great opportunity for Maryland to take on a team that will have a very difficult time coming back to earth after beating UNC by 33 points last Saturday. And that this is a Tuesday game gives the Terrapins an even better chance at stealing a victory. And, quite frankly, this is exactly the kind of game this FSU would lose, given its unpredictability this season. That said, if the Seminoles are ready to play and the fans show up Bernard James and company will eke one out.
Forecast: FSU, 70-63.

Andrew Jones’ record: 140-34
