Chip's NCAA 'Highest-Rated' Heavy Hitter (Minn/Maryland)
(NCAAB) Minnesota vs. Maryland,
Point Spread: 4.50 | -102.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
Minnesota at Maryland 8:30 ET
Golden Gophers (+) over Terrapins- I remember the first encounter between these two this season, as I posted the Gophers (-4) at home on a Saturday and the Terps won outright 85-78. Minnesota has won five in-a-row since and now play as an underdog on the road where they are 6-4 straight-up and 7-3 ATS. Maryland who is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall has dominated this series winning six of the seven meetings all-time. The young coach Richard Pitino preaches defense and has the Gophers' who lead the Big Ten and rank second nationally in blocks per game lead by Reggie Lynch at 3.1 per game. In a revenge spot and because this line is way-low according to the power ratings...take MINNESOTA!
