Nebraska vs Maryland Basketball Predictions & Best Bets
Nebraska is on the road playing Maryland at the Xfinity Center stadium on Saturday, 1/28/2023 @ 4:30pm EST. Maryland -9.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Maryland -11.5.
The Terps (13-7 SU, 7-14 ATS, 4-5 B10, 38 NCAA Net Rankings) host Nebraska (10-11 SU, 7-14 ATS, 3-7 B10, 100 NCAA Net Rankings) at 4:30pm ET at the Xfinity Center. The Terps won 90-74 in a road game last season as a 1.5-point favorite.
The PAC 10 continues to struggle
Nebraska has never been a good fit in Conference 10 basketball, plus they aren't a very comfortable fit in football either. However, at least they have Big 10 Network money. In terms of beating Iowa (66-50) at home and Ohio State (63-60) at home, the Cornhuskers have played well. In their last game at home, Northwestern beat them 78-63 by 2.5 points as a 2.5-point home favorite. Keisei Tominaga led Nebraska with 22 points on 9-of-17 shooting, but Northwestern shot 52% from the field. The team forced 15 turnovers, but committed 16 as well.
It's a good time to be a Terp
The Maryland Terrapins are vying for an NCAA bid, but they need to play better on the road if they want to secure the bid. A strong 10-1 record can be found at home, while a disappointing 1-5 record can be found on the road. Purdue, Iowa, Rutgers and Michigan have been tough opponents on the road, but they lost to the Boilermakers just by three points on Jan. 22. Taking that step was a good start. The team traveled to Ann Arbor on New Year's Day and lost 81-46. The Terps got revenge 64-58 on Jan. 19 when Michigan returned. Wisconsin (who played Northwestern on Monday) was beaten 73-55 on Jan. 25. 32-22, they outrebounded the Badgers with 56% shooting.
The team's rotation has been limited by injuries, which hinder their ability to rebound. At 6-9.2, Derrick Walker is not as large as some other centers in the league, so Reese should take advantage of that. Those two games before, Reese had great success against the likes of 7-4 Zach Edey, so that's a big advantage. With many returning students from winter break in College Park, the Terps' pressure defense will also be crucial in this game.
