3:45 PM EST. The Wolverines responded to their loss to rival Michigan State with an 82-53 pummeling of Nebraska on Thursday night. When a team wins in such a lopsided fashion, they are often overvalued the next time out. Combine that with the pedigree that comes from a true blue blood program that is ranked in the top 10 and the price increases further. Michigan is also making headlines, as they are in the midst of one of the best seasons in the program's history and are a victory shy of setting the all-time record. If the pressure to surpass the 1985-86 side wasn't enough, the Wolverines are also fighting it out with Purdue and MSU for the Big Ten title and they have that "revenge" game with the Spartans on deck. As impressive at the Wolverine's season has been on paper, coach John Beilein is guilty of loading the non-conference portion of that schedule with a pile of cupcakes that ranks 311 of the 353 graded schools on KenPom.

We faded Maryland in its last game, which was a 78-61 blowout loss to Penn State and that final score actually flattered the Terrapins, as they were down by as many as 29 points. Maryland is 12-6 in the Big Ten, which is impressive when you consider they are still the fifth youngest team in the nation. The 'Terps are tied with Wisconsin for the fourth seed, which comes with a bye in the Big Ten tournament and they've already proven this season that they can beat the best the conference has to offer with wins over Purdue, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Maryland was a small pooch at home to the Boilermakers and beat them 70-56. The 'Terps are a dangerous dog and probably should be favored here, but they do not wear maize and blue. Michigan is getting a ton of press this week and today, which provides us with this great opportunity to back the Terps at home in an evenly priced game.
