The Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Maryland Terrapins meet in college basketball action from the XFINITY Center on Sunday night.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers will look to build on their 71-68 win over Purdue in their last matchup. Marcus Carr leads the Gophers in scoring and assists with 19.9 PPG and 5.4 APG while also chipping in 4.1 RPG this season while Liam Robbins has 13.1 PPG and a team-high 7.3 RPG to lead the Gophers on the glass as the only other double-digit scorer for Minnesota so far this season. Gabe Kalscheur has 9.4 PPG while Brandon Johnson has 8.9 PPG with 6.4 RPG and Both Gach has 8.2 PPG with 4.5 RPG and 2.3 APG this season. As a team, Minnesota is averaging 75.8 PPG on 40.7% shooting from the field, 29.4% from 3-point range and 75.5% from the foul line while allowing 72.2 PPG on 42.5% shooting from the field and 32.1% from 3-point range this season.

The Maryland Terrapins will look to bounce back from a 73-65 loss to Ohio State in their last matchup. Eric Ayala leads the Terps in scoring with 14.3 PPG while Aaron Wiggins has 12.5 PPG with 5.4 RPG and a team-high 2.9 APG and Donta Scott has 12.4 PPG with a team-high 6.4 RPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Maryland up to this point in the year. Darryl Morsell has 8.3 PPG with 2.8 APG as well for the Terrapins this year. As a team, Maryland is averaging 69.5 PPG on 45.4% shooting from the field, 34.7% from 3-point range and 69.1% from the foul line while allowing 66.4 PPG on 42.1% shooting from the field and 34.4% from 3-point range this season.

Minnesota is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games while the under is 9-2 in their last 11 games overall. Maryland is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 8-2-1 in their last 11 games as a favorite. The underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, as good as Minnesota’s talent is within their roster, I want no part of this team on the road. 0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS and being outscored by 17 PPG on the road inspires little confidence, even for Minnesota. Maryland’s shown up in spots here and there, and the Terps are outscoring teams by 8 PPG at home this season. I’ll lay the bucket with Maryland in this spot.
