Maryland’s women’s basketball team is kicking off 2026 with a real challenge: a road game against Illinois, the team that upset them last season on Senior Day. Both squads are dominating the boards this year, so expect a physical battle for every rebound. Illinois is undefeated at home and has a rising star in Berry Wallace, while Maryland’s Addi Mack and Saylor Poffenbarger have been electric together. With last year’s heartbreak still fresh, this rematch is more than just another Big Ten game—it’s a shot at redemption. Who do you think will control the glass and come out on top? #Sports #MarylandBasketball #Illinois
