Matt Modderno is back for another Fear the Podcast, this time to discuss the blatant disrespect for this Maryland Basketball program from Big Ten media. The Terps land at 13th in the preseason poll and had no players on the first or second team. Darius Adams received a few votes for Freshman of the Year and Pharrel Payne was one of many to receive a vote but fall short of a Big Team preseason team. But that's it for the Terps! Did the media get it right or are they sleeping on this team? Plus, some news on 2026 four-star recruit Latrell Almond as Maryland makes his final five after locking in his final official visit.
