Maryland Terrapins vs. Oregon Ducks Prediction

This matchup features Maryland’s interior scoring and perimeter volume against an Oregon team that has shown more offensive balance and defeated the Terrapins earlier this season. Maryland’s inconsistency on the defensive end and struggles away from home create volatility and variance. With that said, Oregon’s offensive efficiency, matchup familiarity and ability to generate interior scoring point toward the Ducks separating late in this contest. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Oregon Ducks to cover the 3.5 points in this game.

Hans Geevers's Pick: Oregon -3.5
