The current betting odds have Maryland listed as a 12 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Maryland has been crushing teams in their games this year and they are currently ranked in the top 25 in the country. They are undefeated through their first 6 games but they have been crushing teams in every game as all 6 of their wins have come by more than 12 points this season. Louisville has been the complete opposite this season as they have been terrible in their games losing all 6 of their games so far. They were playing in a lot of close games at the beginning of the season but they have still taken some losses to some really bad teams in close games and they have been even worse in their last few games since their last 3 losses have all come by more than 12 points. Louisville is in complete disarray right now while Maryland has been rolling since the season started. The best way to place a bet here is on Maryland to cover the spread in this game.

“He was a monster. He knew they were loading up the box when he had the ball in the post, so it’s an easy way to go get it. He’s really being aggressive on the offensive glass. He’s consistently on there. He’s not going once or twice. He’s going every time.” - Kevin Willard after his team’s win against the Coppin State Eagles in their last game.

 

 

"They shoot 61 or 62 percent from the field in the second half. You're not beating anybody when a team can shot that kind of percentage. So hopefully it's another lesson learned. We walked out of this tournament 0-3, but hopefully we saw some of the best teams in the country and we learned from 'em.” - Kenny Payne after his team’s loss against the Cincinnati Bearcats in their last game.
