The Maryland Terrapins will be on the road to take on the Northwestern Wildcats on Wednesday, January 12th.
The tip-off is set for 9:00 ET from Welsh-Ryan Arena.
The Wildcats started off as a 4 point favorite and that number is now up to 4.5. The total has gone from 142 to 142.5.
Maryland Terrapins
A lot of people though that Maryland would be playing better than they have been so far. Simply put, they have not been all that impressive of a team.
The Terps last played on Sunday, where they lost to the Wisconsin Badgers by a score of 70-69. They played much better in the second half, but it still was not enough to put away a very talented team in the Badgers.
This program has played some good teams, but they have not had much success against them. Eventually, you have to win against the solid competition or your season is not going to be worth all that much.
Eric Ayala was the leading scorer for this bunch in their last game with 19 points and 5 rebounds. Also, Daron Russell chipped in 13 points and 6 assists. Even with the offense playing pretty well, it was not enough to fend off the Badgers.
Northwestern Wildcats
Northwestern has been sort of a weird team to figure out this season. They have looked good at times, but they still have not shown me enough to the point where I think all that highly of them.
The Wildcats come into this contest with a record of 8-5. They will be looking to knock off the Terrapins for the second time this year, which is not going to be an easy task for them to complete.
This ball club lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday by a score of 95-87. They fought hard in the game, but it was just not enough on the road against a very talented team. They will need to get back on track during Wednesday night’s game with the Terps.
The offense was absolutely not the issue in their last game, but the defense just did not play up to their standard. You cannot allow over ninety points in college hoops and think you are going to win the ball game. They will have to be much better on that side of the ball when they host Maryland.

4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Maryland ATS
Both of these teams will be looking to put tough losses behind them. I would expect Maryland and Northwestern to come out focused and with plenty of energy, which is not always the case when you watch teams around the country.
Maryland may not be as good of a team this year as they have been in past years, but it is not as if they are some terrible program. They are still representative and I can see them being competitive with a Northwestern team that is not a whole better than they are.
The Wildcats have not been great ATS lately and I would not be shocked if that continues in this one. They have not impressed me enough to the point where I like them as a 4.5 point favorite against a team that is better than average.
My play is on the Terps at +4.5 here.
