Stephen Nover's Big Ten Bookie Basher
(NCAAB) Buckeyes (OSU) vs. Terrapins (MD),
Point Spread: -5.50 | -110.00 Terrapins (MD) (Home)
Result: Win
Maryland is 7-1 with its lone loss coming to 15th-ranked Marquette by four points. The Terrapins are better than Ohio State and playing at home. That combination should mean a point spread cover here.

Ohio State needs to shake off a 91-90 home loss to underdog Pittsburgh this past Friday. The Panthers pulled the upset on a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Ohio State is a bad free throw shooting team and it bit them against Pittsburgh.

Maryland is a much better free throw shooting team than the Buckeyes and the Terrapins commit four fewer fouls per game.

The Terrapins have revenge, too, for a 79-75 double overtime road loss to Ohio State last February.
