The college basketball season will get started off for a number of teams on Friday night and one of the most entertaining games will be with Connecticut taking on Maryland and that should be a great matchup and it's even better since the game is going to be at the Barclays Center and the game starts up on ESPN2 at 6:30 PM.
Connecticut comes into the game after a tough season last year and now they will get the chance to rebound against Maryland, who is also trying to build things back up as well after a couple rough years in the ACC. The Huskies are coming in after going 10-8 last season and they will start up against Maryland before playing some tough games later against Stanford, Florida, Boston College and Washington and the matchup. Maryland comes in after winning 25 games last season, but they had a losing record in the ACC and while they pulled off a nice upset of Duke in the ACC tournament, they will have another tough season in one of the most competitive conferences in the nation.
