No. 14 Illinois goes on the road to take on the Maryland Terrapins in Big 10 action. These teams met on Jan. 14 with the Terps coming away with a 76-67 win. Illinois is putting up 83 points a game on 46.4% shooting from the field and 34.6% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 70.3 points per game. Maryland snapped a three-game losing streak last time out. Maryland is putting up just 69.4 points per game on 41.1% shooting from the field and 28.9% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 63.8 points per game. Maryland won the first game but Illinois was without Terrence Shannon Jr. Depth could be a problem for Maryland as they have three players listed as questionable for this game. Illinois is one of the better teams in the Big 10 and is pushing for a top 4 seed in the tournament. They can’t afford a loss to Maryland here. Maryland has struggled in close games and I look for the Illini to pull this one out in the end.

Play on Illinois on the money line. This is a 4% play.
