PICK: I’m going to try Maryland in this one. We should have a pretty fun matchup on our hands here, though. In any case, the Terrapins put up a good effort in the Richmond game, shooting 49.1 percent from the floor with a 37-32 rebounding edge and 17 team assists.
As for Louisville, they did well in their win over Mississippi State, with 41.3 percent from the floor and 47 rebounds. If both teams start this one out shooting well, we’re likely in for a high-scoring and competitive game. I like Maryland slightly better on a cover/win, but you could certainly make a case either way.
