Maryland vs Michigan Betting Preview
The regression bug has finally started catching up to Michigan, and we’re going to project another loss for the Wolverines on Wednesday.
This will be the first meeting of the season between these squads, but Maryland has won-and-covered the previous two. Michigan’s turnover woes have made everything difficult for the maize-and-blue over the last month.
Michigan has been operating at a -2.4 turnover differential per game this season. You have to go back to January 27 against Penn State to find the last time Michigan won the turnover battle in a game.
Ironically, that game was also the first of Michigan’s six-game winning streak where the Wolverines did not win any contest by more than four points.
Maryland is equipped with everything you’d like to see from a road team in March. Unlike Michigan, Maryland’s offense is top-40 in the country in turnover rate.
Maryland vs Michigan Predictions
Less than 36-percent of the Terps’s field goal attempts come from the three-point line, so Maryland is not reliant on three-point shooting. Maryland was +8 in turnovers and forced 13 steals in Saturday’s road win at Penn State.
Six-foot-ten freshman Derik Queen is going to have his hands full in the paint trying to defend Michigan’s post players, but the Terps have a handful of guards that can make it very difficult for seven-footers Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin to get the ball.
Maryland vs Michigan Prediction: Maryland +2.5
