The star in that game at home against the Illini was J. Layman who had some 7 rebounds and scored the game’s most points at 19 in the game for seniors in their final home game of their season. In his ultimate 3 games he has shot 77 percent from the floor and with a 16.4 game average for those last 3 games. Another player who performed well in that game was M. Trimble as he completed 7 of his 15 attempts scoring 18 points in the game. That was a big improvement from his previous 4 games when he had 18 turnovers and only was able to complete 23.5% of his attempts in those 4 games.
Maryland is seeking to end this season with a win over the Hoosiers who are the new Big Ten Champs this afternoon in Indiana. To do they will have to play their best offensive games as they have in their ultimate 3 game when they completed some 52.3 % of their shots from the floor and managed in the ultimate 3 games to scored 81 points on average. In the Maryland Terrapins ultimate 10 games on the road against the spread they are at 4-4-2 in those games.
If you’re a fan of the Big Ten 12-5 Indiana Hoosiers (24-6 Overall) the team upped their win streak to 4 games with their exciting victory over the No. 16 Hawkeyes of Iowa this past Tuesday night 82-79 as team support came from 4 players who had double figures for the game, and with that win the Hoosiers in their ultimate 6 games have won 5 of them.
The season their strong point has been the outstanding performance of their offense efforts, as the team is ranked at 11th in the NCAA as they have scored on average some 82.9 points each game this season. That is an amazing feat considering that the team has been without J. Blackmon one of their top scorers who has been out the entire season with an injury to his knee. Their improved and adjusted offensive roster this past Tuesday completed 51.2 % of their shots from the floor. Thus, with that performance in the pocket today they hope to maintain the momentum, and to win hope Y. Ferrell has another top performance game since he leads the team in steals, assists and scoring this season.
Certainly the Hoosiers star Y. Ferrell is anxious to extend his performance in the game against Maryland since he average 22.3 points against them in their 2014-15 series, and the Maryland team has lost some 18 straight games to top ranked teams, but their defense has still limited opponents to just 64.3 points each game and that ranks them at 33rd in the NCAA. But fans must remember that the Hoosiers on their home court have not been defeated this season and in their ultimate 10 games at home thy against the spread are with 6 wins and 4 losses to date.
The online wagering prediction for these 2 Big Ten rivals is that the Indiana Hoosiers prove to be too much offensively and overtake the Terrapins in their final game of the season 64-58.
