The Maryland Terrapins were able to pick up their second straight game as they picked up a victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Terrapins shot 49% from the floor on the night while holding the Buckeyes to just 37% for the night in the ten point win.
The Penn State Nittany Lions are currently within the cellar of the Big Ten conference at this time of season. Nonetheless, they are winners of two of three games as they picked up a victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini as Lamar Stevens poured in 25 points along with 8 rebounds on an 8-12 shooting.
Maryland Terrapins
The defense for the Terrapins are continuing to allow their defense to lead the way as they are allowing teams to shoot only 39% from the floor on a nightly basis. On the other hand, teams are scoring just shy of 65 points per game as their defense in allowing 62 points to the Buckeyes.
Maryland allowed just 36% shooting yet the Buckeyes connected on 11 three-pointers on the night compared to just six for Maryland. Howver, Anthony Cowan, Jr. posted 19 points on the night while going 3-4 from three point range while Bruno Fernando recorded yet another double-double on the year with 14 points and 10 boards.

Serrell Smith also had a great game off the bench for the Terrapins with 14 points on a night where Maryland came just shy of converting on half their field goals from the perimeter (23-47). With the win, the Terrapins won their third straight home game while also winning two of their last three games, overall.
Cowan Jr. (16 ppg, 5 ass) is a quick guard that can certainly get by opponents while making things happen at the basket. Fernando (15 ppg, 11 rebs) has not only recorded nine double-doubles in their last ten games, but, is also shooting 65% from the floor per game.
Penn State Nittany Lions
Aside from Stevens leading the team with 25 points, his third straight 20-point night in three games, Josh Reaves also chipped in 14 points as well for Penn State as he also pulled down six rebounds. And while the Nittany Lions struggled from three-point range (5-17), they shot just under 50% from the floor as a team in the win.
And despite commiting 17 turnovers in the win, the Nittany Lions were also able to outrebound the Fighting Illini by ten boards. Also, Penn State got to the free-throw line 32 times on the night while convertiing on 26 attempts (81%).

Never mind that Stevens is only shooting at a 43% clip on the year. The fact is that he has been the only consistent source of offense this year for Penn State. However, despite leading the team with 19 points, Stevens struggled mightily versus the defensive-minded Terrapins in their last meeting in December as he went 7-24 from the field while going 1-4 from long-range in a six-point loss.

Free Maryland Terrapins vs. Penn State Nittany Lions NCAAB Prediction:
Maryland has been just average in their last six road games (3-3). On the other hand, I feel strongly that they will continue their current outstanding play defensively versus a Penn State team that averages less than 70 points per game on just 41% shooting. In all, look for Maryland to keep rolling as they will pick up the 81-74 victory in the end against a Nittany Lions team that has picked up some huge wins lately, yet, continues to struggle with consistency.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Terps -1
Maryland will put the clamps on as it relates to the Nittany Lions offense as they allowing just 59 points in their last meeting. Look for them to also establish themselves in this area early and often as they will control the pace throughout en route to the win.
