Minnesota vs Maryland Preview
This Minnesota team simply does not have a Big Ten-caliber roster right now. For whatever reason, head coach Ben Johnson couldn’t attract the necessary pieces to surround do-it-all 6-foot-11 senior Dawson Garcia during the offseason.
Lu’Cye Patterson has been a nice addition from Charlotte, but asking transfers from Charlotte, New Mexico State and Pepperdine to be starters in the Big Ten is a massive leap.
The Gophers started out red-hot against Wisconsin on Friday, but got out-scored by 20 points in the second half.
The Gophers are the only Big Ten team without a conference win and four of their five losses have been by double-digits with an average margin of defeat at 18.5 points per game.
Minnesota vs Maryland Prediction
Minnesota is 2-12-1 against the number this season, and those numbers are really concerning because Minnesota has barely left home this season.
The Gophers did not play a road game in non-conference play and have lost their first two conference road games by 15 and 21 points.
After back-to-back losses, Maryland rebounded nicely with a 79-61 win over UCLA on Friday. The Terps are top-25 in the country in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
Maryland is scoring over 85 points per game this season. The Terps are 16-3 straight-up in their last 19 meetings, and have covered the spread in nine of the last ten.
UCLA vs Maryland Prediction: Maryland -16.5
