Indiana vs Maryland Prediction 

I just don’t trust this Indiana team and even at home, they are going to struggle. The fans are going to be chanting for them to make some changes again. Maryland on the season is averaging only 83 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Indiana’s offense won’t be keeping up and it’s going to be Maryland that will cruise. Back Maryland against the spread here.
