Maryland is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Monday games. The under is 20-8 in Maryland’s last 28 games. Iowa is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. The over is 11-3-1 in Iowa’s last 15 games.

Iowa comes into this game with one of the best points per game offenses in the nation. Maryland has been pretty sharp on the defensive end of the court, so it will be interesting to see which side plays better. Iowa has beaten up on inferior teams this year and has struggled against the better teams on their schedule. With that in mind, I am going to take Maryland and the points.
