Indiana vs Maryland Prediction

The current betting odds have Maryland listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Maryland has a 14-7 record overall this season and they have been struggling in their conference games. They are only 5-5 against Big Ten opponents this season, but they have been a very good home team all year with their 11-1 home record and they have some momentum coming into this one too with their 2 wins in a row now. Indiana has been starting to play a lot better in their games lately winning 5 games in a row now but they still haven't been great this season with their 6-4 conference record. They are 15-6 overall but haven't been good in their road games as they are 3-4 and Maryland is going to be a very tough team for them to beat here. Indiana has been picking up steam lately but it is hard to fade such a good home record when Maryland also has some momentum coming into this one as they have been playing well too in their games lately. The best way to place a bet here is on Maryland to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


"Well, again, here's a freshman that's played very well for our ballclub this season. He did get off to a hot start, and we needed every bit of it because Ohio State got off to a great start. He was basically the only guy that was putting the ball in the hole. Our defense stayed solid, and then that three-minute mark of the first half is when we made our run. We went on, I think, a 15-0 run, and that's basically, I think, what sealed the game for us." - Mike Woodson on Jalen Hood-Schifino after his team’s win against Ohio State in their last game.


“Yeah, I think the biggest thing offensively, we’ve just taken care of the basketball so much better, and so it’s a lot less run outs for them, us at least getting shots. And so, I think we’re back to, you know, 16 assists, 10 turnovers is good. It’s great.” - Kevin Willard after his team’s win against Nebraska in their last game.
