Trends

Maryland is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games. The under is 4-0-1 in Maryland’s last 5 games. Alabama is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a win. The under is 4-1 in Alabama’s last 5 games. 

Pick

Alabama comes into this game on a four game winning streak and shot the ball very well in their first round win. Maryland has lost three of their last five games, but was able to sneak past West Virginia in the first round. Maryland didn’t finish the regular season very well and I think they are going to have a ton of issues in this game. Maryland doesn’t have the offense to hang with a team like Alabama, so I like the Crimson Tide in this game.
