LINE: Maryland -5.5
KENPOM SPREAD: Maryland -3 (Maryland 74, Iowa 71; Maryland 61% chance of winning)
When Iowa and Maryland met around three weeks ago in Iowa City, the Terps used a strong second half -- and an especially strong finish -- to upset the Hawkeyes. Maryland ended the game on a 12-4 run, with eight points from Jahmir Young in the final 86 seconds, including the game-winner with just 1.5 seconds to go.
The way Iowa lost that game has become an unwelcome trend for the Hawkeyes in recent weeks -- the Hawkeye offense also sputtered late in losses to Purdue, Indiana, and Penn State. Iowa at least temporarily broke that trend with a furious comeback win against Minnesota on Sunday, rallying from 20 points down to earn a 90-85 win over the Gophers.
Maryland enters this game with plenty of problems of their own. After beating Iowa and Nebraska in consecutive games to get to 5-5 in Big Ten play, the Terps have lost three in a row entering tonight's game. That losing skid includes a loss at Michigan State (understandable), as well as a home loss to Rutgers and a 2OT road loss at Ohio State (much less understandable).
