The Maryland Terrapins were on fire in their first-round win over Rutgers on Wednesday night. The Terps in the first half were on fire and cruised to an easy win. Wisconsin has struggled as of late and have went from a possible two seed over a month ago to a team that looks like more of a 7-10 seed.

Our Best Pick: Bet the Over
Maryland’s decision to rest Reece in their regular season finale against Penn State makes perfect sense; his contribution will be essential in beating Wisconsin’s frontcourt, who were stymied by him (18 points per game, seven rebounds and two blocks). After beating Rutgers by 20+ points during most of the second half, Reese played just 28 minutes, while Young only had to work half a game. Maryland will not be tired, and they are facing a bad badgers defense. Wisconsin is an offensive team and both of these teams should reach the 70s.
- Maryland shot well last game
-
Wisconsin shoots the ball well
-
Maryland has little depth

Conclusion
I think the Badgers are the better shooting and deeper team. Maryland has three outstanding players who should not be too tired after an easy first-round win over Rutgers. Wisconsin is a poor defensive team, but I trust their offense much more than Maryland. I think the over is the best bet in this game, but if I had to pick a winner, I would say Wisconsin 76, Maryland 72.
