MARYLAND -4.5
For a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value on the visiting team:
In their last matchup, Maryland scored the first seven points before Wisconsin answered with a 16-2 run to take a 16-9 lead with 11:59 left in the first half. Wisconsin stretched the lead to 37-27 at halftime.
Maryland pulled to 51-48 with just more than 10 minutes remaining, but got no closer. Wisconsin went on a 14-5 run to open a 65-53 lead with 5:51 to play and the Badgers led by at least seven the rest of the way.
Maryland matches up favorably vs. the Hoosiers though.
Keep in mind the Terrapins always play tough on the road; 4-2 SU their last six.
On the other side of the court: Indiana is coming off a 90-72 victory over the Northwestern State, but will face a much stiffer test this evening.
Keep in mind that Indiana committed 18 turnovers last time out, which led to 23 of Northwestern State’s points.
Also remember that Indiana is a poor 1-3-1 ATS in its last five games overall.
Bottom line: Expect the Terrapins to bounce back from that sub-par effort vs. the Badgers and take advantage of the opportunities when presented; look for MARYLAND to improve to 2-2 ATS when playing the roll of favorite and for Indiana to fall to 1-2 ATS as an underdog!
*9* MARYLAND.
