#671/672 ASA FREE CBB PLAY ON Under 131 Points – Michigan State vs Maryland, Thursday at 11:30 AM ET - Maryland has been a full blown UNDER team over the 2nd half of the season or so. The Terps head coach Turgeon has really slowed the pace of his team and focused big time on the defensive end. They’ve been successful with that approach so they’ve stuck with it. Since January 23rd the Terps have played 12 games with 10 of those going UNDER the total. Their average combined points during those 12 games was just 123. The Maryland defense has allowed only 2 teams to top 66 points during that 12 game stretch. The MSU defense has played fantastic the last 2 games holding Michigan, the 6th most efficient offense in the country, to just 69 and 64 points. Sparty has now gone UNDER the total their last 5 games. These 2 teams rank 11th and 13th in offensive efficiency in Big 10 games and we expect a slow paced game similar to their only meeting this year in which there were just 100 shot attempts. The final score of that game was Maryland 73-55 (128 total points) and the Terps shot lights out hitting 50% of their 3’s and 23 of their 24 FT attempts and it still stay Under. We look for another low scoring, grinder and we’ll grab the UNDER.
