Maryland vs Oregon prediction
Maryland vs Oregon best bet
Maryland vs Oregon best bet: Oregon -3.5 (-122)
The Maryland Terrapins had Illinois on upset alert in the season finale but couldn’t overcome the Illini’s size. The Terps were bullied in the paint, allowing 42 points, and now face a sizable Oregon frontcourt.
Bigs Nate Bittle and Kwame Evans Jr. combined for 28 points in the win over UM in January, in which the Ducks tallied half of their 64 points inside.
Not only is Maryland outmatched by that interior offense, but the Terps don’t shoot well enough to overcome Oregon’s protection in the paint. Game models call for a Ducks win by four points.
