Illinois vs. Maryland prediction for Thursday, January 6
Illinois is playing some lights-out basketball right now. They are clicking, but Maryland is not a bad team. The Terrapins have a good win over No. 20 Florida, and they are coming off a close loss on the road against Iowa.
I think you have to take Maryland +11 in this game.
Despite taking Maryland +11, I think you have to take Illinois in the moneyline. I think the Terrapins can keep it respectable, but they will still fall to the Illini.
The over-under of 140.5 will hit the over. Maryland can put up points and so can the Illini. Look for this game to be a track meet and the score to be somewhere in the 150s.
