KENPOM: Maryland -12 (86% chance of winning)
No full preview for this one -- I've been sick as a dog since Friday, unfortunately.
But this Maryland team looks like a tall ask for the Hawkeyes -- the Terps have been very solid this year. They rank in the top 25 in offensive (17th) and defensive efficiency (25th) and they enter this game having won 7 of their last 8 games.
Derik Queen (6'10", 246) leads the team in scoring (15.9 ppg) and is second in rebounding (8.6 rpg), but the Terps' success has been a very balanced affair -- they have five players averaging 11.8 ppg or more. Julian Reese (6'9", 252 lbs) has provided more power in the post (13.7 ppg, 9.1 rpg). Maryland is a good 3-point shooting team as well; the Terps are shooting 37.1% as a team (39th) and they have three guys shooting 37% or better on 100+ attempts each.
