Big 10 play continues with the fantastic Maryland Terrapins heading to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes, coming off a loss to Iowa, will look to bounce back on their home court and get a win against a very tough Maryland team.
Maryland Terrapins
Currently atop the Big 10 standings, the Maryland Terrapins are having a great season. The Terrapins are 19-2 and will look for win number 20 on Tuesday night against Ohio State.
The key to Maryland’s team has been its quality of defense. The Terrapins only give up about 66 points per game to opponents and are 48th in the nation in that category.
Coach Mark Turgeon has done a great job focusing on the defensive end and getting his players to play lockdown defense.

This has made it easier for Maryland, considering the team doesn’t have a particularly potent offense. The Terrapins average about 75.7 points per game and are led by junior guard Melo Trimble.
Trimble averages about 17.1 points per game, shooting 45.5% from the field. Trimble leads his team in points and leads it in general.
He’s a great presence on and off the court, and has been a key factor in Maryland’s wins.
Look for Trimble to take over this game and put on a show against Ohio State.
Ohio State Buckeyes
Ohio State isn’t having a good year in conference. The Buckeyes are 11th in the Big 10, with a 3-6 record.
Ohio State hasn’t been able to get things going in the Big 10. The team has suffered some bad losses to conference opponents, including a 13-point loss to Iowa and a 23-point loss to Wisconsin.
Offensively, the team is led by junior forward Jae’Sean Tate. He’s averaging 14 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He shoots a very efficient 55.8% from the field.

Leading the back court is JaQuan Lyle. The sophomore has been a good floor general for Ohio State, and he’s averaging 12.3 points per game along with five assists. He’s shooting 46% from the field.
What the Buckeyes do have on their side are Tate and Lyle’s scoring abilities along with the ability to play good defense. The Buckeyes give up 68.3 points per game.
Unfortunately, the team hasn’t been able to hold its Big 10 opponents to that lower point total.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Maryland is 5-0 ATS in the last five games
- The Total has gone OVER in nine of Ohio State’s last 10 games
Free Maryland Terrapins vs. Ohio State Buckeyes NCAAB Prediction:
This should be a pretty easy victory for Maryland. Ohio State doesn’t have near the level of talent that Maryland does. The Terrapins get the W on the road.

Maryland at +1 is an easy choice as far as I’m concerned. This Terrapins team will beat Ohio State so betting ATS is a solid choice here.
