UMBC Looks for Another Big Win

UMBC on the season is averaging 83 points while their defense is giving up 76.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 74th in the league and they are going to need to try and get the offense out to a fast start. Khydarius Smith is averaging 16 points while shooting 64.2 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three point line.
Shane’s Free Pick
UMBC on the season is averaging 83 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score in this game. This Maryland offense isn’t very good and they are going to struggle to get the offense going here again. Now Maryland might find enough offense to win the game, but if they do win, it’s not going to be by many points. Back UMBC to cover the spread here.
