Maryland vs Michigan Prediction
I’m on the Terrapins here. I get that Michigan is going to be a tough team to prepare for considering that the Wolverines have two 7-footers in Goldin and Wolf to key in on. But that didn’t bother Maryland when these two squared off about a week and a half ago. The Terrapins have the size inside to match up with Michigan. Side-by-side, I think that Maryland is the better team and the more I see Maryland on the floor, the more I see this Terrapins team making a sustained run in the NCAA tournament. I just have my concerns with Michigan defensively and I think that Maryland gets another win over the Wolverines here to get the win and cover to progress to the Big Ten title game.
