After suffering a recent two-game blight following its seven-match winning streak Maryland will look to get back on the winner’s list when they take on Wisconsin in a big NCAA fixture.

Maryland is looking good for the Big Dance at 17-5 and 8-3 in Big 10 play, but a win over a ranked team on the road in this game will look good on their resume. The Terrapins only gave up 57 points in their last game and for the season their defense has been the strength of the team ranking 37th in the nation giving up an average of only 65.6 ppg.

Maryland is 2-2 this season facing top 25 teams.

After losing four of five games Wisconsin has rebounded and they are currently riding a four-game winning streak. They are 15-6 overall and 7-3 in Big 10- play and with 10 games left in the regular season every game is a big one. Like the Terps the Badgers are 2-2 facing ranked teams this season. Also, like Maryland Wisconsin is led by their defense, as they rank tied for 10th in the nation in points allowed. In their four-game win streak, where they have not faced a top 25 team, they have given up an average of only 52.7 ppg.

This season Wisconsin is 80-2 at home and Maryland is 4-2 on the road.

This season Maryland is 11-10-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 11-11 and BYU is at 12-9 ATS with an Over/Under record of 9-11.
