NCAA Basketball Maryland Terrapins vs Wisconsin Badgers: Odds, Tips and Predictions 03/14/24

Basketball Betting Tips · - ·

Publish Date: 03/14/2024
Fact checked by: Simon Briffa

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.

Odds Maryland vs Wisconsin

  • Point Spread: Wisconsin -3.5
  • Moneyline Maryland +150
  • Moneyline Wisconsin -182
  • Over/Under 132.5

These odds were updated at 9 am EST on 03/14/24; the odds came from Draft Kings.

 

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 vs Wisconsin Moneyline

The money line is a solid bet on either team, but I would bet the spread if betting on the Badgers and take the Terrapins on the money line if I was betting them to get more bang for the buck.

Maryland vs Wisconsin Over/Under Analysis

The Badgers have gone over in their last five games, and Maryland is coming off one of their best shooting games of the year. The Terrapins did not have to overly exert themselves in their first-round win.

Maryland vs Wisconsin Spread Analysis

The spread gives is about right as the game they played three weeks ago was won by the Badgers 74-70, both teams have struggled as of late, which should lead to a close hard fought game.

Maryland vs Wisconsin Head to Head

These teams played a few weeks ago in Wisconsin, and the Badgers prevailed 74-70 over the Terrapins. Tyler Wahl led the Badgers in that matchup with 18 points and six boards, while Jahmir Young led the Terps with 20 points.

Injuries and Suspensions

Wisconsin Injury Report

  • I. Gard Out indefinitely – Undisclosed

 

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.
