Pick

I’m sticking with Maryland here. The Nittany Lions continue to be a disappointment on the road after showing such promise early on this season, and while I’ve been harsh on Maryland in spots, the reality for the Terps is that they play their better basketball at home by a fair margin and I look for that to continue here. I’ll lay the points with Maryland here.
