MARYLAND @ ILLINOIS BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY*
(NCAAB) Maryland vs. Illinois,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 Illinois (Home)
Result: Loss
There is a lot at stake in this contest as with both teams at 8-3, the winner of this one will take sole command of the Big Ten conference.

No. 21 Illinois took a 72-65 loss against 17th-ranked Iowa on Sunday, its first setback in a month. The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here. The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won five straight following a 56-51 triumph over Rutgers, but it wasn't pretty and the Terps trailed by five at the half.

The Terps won the first meeting 59-58 win Dec. 7, but they're 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Illinois should be able to put up an even better fight in its own building.

10* play on Illinois.
