The Michigan Wolverines will be hosting the Maryland Terrapins on Tuesday, January 18th.
The tip-off is set for 7:00 ET from Crisler Center.
The Wolverines started off as a 7.5 point favorite and that number is now down to 6.5. The total has gone from 136 to 136.5.
Maryland Terrapins
Maryland just has not been a very consistent basketball team this year. They have looked good at times, but they have not shown it on a regular enough basis to the point where I can be all that bullish on them.
The Terrapins lost to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday by a score of 70-59. I get that their opponent was a decent team, but you should not be losing by double digits on your home court to them.
These guys have not exactly played well in their conference games. That is going to have to change before the year ends or their season is not going to amount to a whole lot.
What makes their last loss so tough is the fact that they were leading 38-27 at halftime, but got outscored by a 43-21 magin in the second half. Those are the sorts of things that just cannot happen if you are the Terps.
Michigan Wolverines
I have not been impressed with the way Michigan has played this season. Given how they played last season, they had high expectations for this year and have not just lived up to them thus far.
The Wolverines have a record of 7-7. They have played some tough teams, but at some point you have to beat them or you will not get any credibility in college hoops.
This squad got beaten by the Illinois Fighting Illini on Friday by a score of 68-53. They just were not able to match the physicality of Illinois, who used plenty of big bodies out on the court.
I never felt like the offense was able to get into a rhythm on Friday. When you score just over fifty points in a basketball game, it is pretty damn hard to win those games.

Free Maryland Terrapins vs. Michigan Wolverines NCAAB Summary:
This is a battle between two teams that just have not been playing great. Obviously, only one team can win, but I would not be surprised if both of them come out with some more effort and urgency than they have been, as they know it is put up or shut up time for them.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Maryland ATS
I know that the opponent for the Wolverines is no walk in the park, but they really need to get back to their winning ways when they face them, especially given the fact they are at home. Playing at Crisler Center should be an advantage for this club, but you never know, given how they have played in the 2021-2022 season.
Even though Michigan is expected to win this ball game, I do not feel this game will come easily for them. Based on how they have been looking, I would not feel great with this group against a lot of teams.
The 6.5 points are too high for me to lay here with a team that I do not trust. At this point, it really would not surprise me if the Wolverines lost the game outright.
I like the Terps at +6.5 here.
