The Michigan Wolverines travel to College Park, Maryland, to take on the Maryland Terrapins in a clash between Big Ten teams. Maryland are limping into this contest, losing three of their previous four games.

Michigan may only be 10-7 overall, but have found their footing in the Big Ten conference play, sitting at 4-2. Both these squads have had up-and-down seasons so far, so predicting the victor may be risky.

Michigan Wolverines vs. Maryland Terrapins: Prediction

The Wolverines and Terrapins are as close talent-wise as two teams can be. In situations like this, I take the points, but something tells me that the homecourt advantage in College Park is the difference. Take Maryland and give the points.
