Maryland has not been playing well this season but they are coming into this game winning 2 straight but they have not been beating any great teams this season. They are near the bottom of the Big Ten this season with a 5-11 record in their conference games and they are 3-5 on the road as well. They are going up against an Indiana team that has been having a better season and is 7-9 in their conference games. They have still struggled against conference opponents this season but they have been a very good team at home as they are 13-3 there. Indiana has not been playing well recently losing 5 straight games but most of those games were against ranked opponents or they were on the road. They will have a much better time trying to beat up on this bad Maryland team here at home and Indiana should get a bounce back win here by close to double digits.
