CBB Pick Of The Day

Maryland (24-7) vs Illinois (21-11)

Friday, March 14, 2025 at 6:30 pm

Pick: Maryland ML

The last time these teams played we saw Maryland smoke Illinois by 21 points on the road. Maryland has the defense to stop what Illinois wants to do and that’s put up a bunch of points. We’ve seen Illinois struggle when playing better defensive teams this season. Maryland will have the best player on the court with Queen. I also have no problem laying this short number with the Terps if you don’t want to do the ML.

Brad’s Pick Maryland: -118
