Game Analysis
4* NCAAB Sweet 16 Vegas Insider on Maryland +
I really like the value here with the Terrapins as a decently priced dog against the Jayhawks. Kansas is the #1 seed and have rolled past their first two opponents, covering the spread in both games, including a 13-point win over a red-hot UConn team in their last game. Maryland on the other hand struggled to put away South Dakota State and needed a late run to win comfortably over Hawaii. I don't think there's any doubt this line is inflated.
The key here is that the Terrapins possess a very difficult matchup for Kansas. Maryland has the bigs inside to match up with the Jayhawks frontline. Kansas also plays a style of defense that is going to benefit Trimble and company. When the Terrapins offense struggles, it's due to teams taking away the drive from Trimble and forcing him to shoot. Kansas wants to take away the 3-point shot and are willing to let their opponents penetrate. This is going to allow Maryland to get into a rhythm offensively and it's not out of the question that they win this game outright. Take the points!
