I favor the Terps on Saturday against the Wolverines.
Maryland was dominant in its win over Illinois and gave Michigan a world of hurt in their previous matchup. The Terrapins held the Wolverines to 22 first-half points and forced 16 UM turnovers (21 points off turnovers). They attempted 12 more free throws than Michigan, too. Aside from being on the wrong side of a banked three against Ohio State and halfcourt heave against Michigan State, Maryland has been flawless down the stretch, winning eight of ten games. The Wolverines lost their final three regular season games and four of their last six, beating only Nebraska and Rutgers. A win over a Boilermakers squad that lost five of their last eight games doesn't mean too much, in my opinion.
After handling their business against the streaking Illini, I trust the Terps to come out on top with a win and cover against the Wolverines.
