Maryland vs Indiana Prediction
Maryland comes into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the season, but they will be at home. The Terrapins are coming off of a very ugly loss to Oregon, where they scored just 54 points. Indiana has won three games in a row and they have scored 90 and 113 in their last two Big Ten games. The Hoosiers are the much better shooting team and they play the better defense, so I expect an easy win for Indiana here. Take the Hoosiers to cover on the road.
