Rutgers, Maryland battle for Big Ten tournament seeding

Rutgers and Maryland are two of the four teams that started the weekend tied for next-to-last place in the Big Ten.

And that's a spot both would like to avoid at the end of the season. The bottom four teams in conference standings at the end of the regular season will play in the opening round of the Big Ten tournament. Two-win Penn State already has one of those spots locked up.

The Scarlet Knights and the Terrapins take identical records (11-17, 4-13) into their meeting on Sunday afternoon in College Park, Md.
