College Basketball Betting Trends
Indiana
The Hoosiers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven Friday games. Indiana is 1-4 ATS in its last five Big Ten games.
Maryland
The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five games versus the Big Ten. Maryland is 4-10-1 ATS in its last 15 home games.
Prediction:
The Terrapins are a better offensive team than Indiana and only a tick worse defensively, while they come into this game hot with four straight wins including the last two by double digits on the road. Both of these teams look NCAA Tournament-bound, but this is the kind of game Maryland needs to win on its home floor when its time to show off the resume. Look for the Terrapins to win and cover the spread.
