Maryland vs West Virginia Prediction: The Betting Preview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thursday’s Maryland vs West Virginia clash in the NCAA Tournament opening round features two of the country’s most inconsistent teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mountaineers and Terrapins are both capable of looking like Elite Eight contenders when everything is clicking. But who will actually be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together for this one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryland vs West Virginia is likely to be one of the most interesting games in the round of 64, with two BIG name teams squaring off in an unusual seeding position for both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryland vs West Virginia Prediction : Maryland’s Betting Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maryland started the year 8-0 with an impressive 18-point win over Miami and a home win over Illinois. But since then, few teams have shown more Jekyll and Hyde characteristics than the Terrapins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of Maryland’s nine Big Ten losses came against teams that didn’t make the NCAA Tournament. Through out the course of the season, Maryland routinely performed better against the top-half of the conference than the bottom half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since December, the Terps have lost 11 of their last 13 road or neutral site games. Here’s the list of teams they’ve beaten since then: Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior guard Jahmir Young was a welcomed addition to College Park after spending the last three seasons at Charlotte. Young’s experience and leadership will be vital against West Virginia’s press defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MD vs West Virginia Pick: WVU Betting Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mountaineers weren’t exactly a model of consistency, either. Bob Huggins’ team started 0-5 in Big XII play before turning things around down the stretch to eek out an at-large berth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven of the Mountaineers’ 11 losses came by seven points or less, so the margin between a 19-14 campaign and a 22-11 campaign wasn’t very broad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maryland vs West Virginia Expert Prediction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We’re drawn toward the under here as neither team is likely to light up the scoreboard at Legacy Arena in Birmingham. Maryland has slowed the pace considerably over the course of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terrpins’ games averaged over 64 possessions per game, but they played notably slower at the end of the season. None of Maryland’s last six games reached that 64-possession mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you remove an overtime game against Nebraska, you can extend that streak all the way back to 12 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very few teams utilize a press in the Big Ten, so beating it across 40 minutes will be a challenge for Maryland. Neither team shoots three-pointers at a high volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither team makes three-pointers at a high volume. This has the makings of a slugfest between two border rivals. Play the under. So, there’s your ultimate Maryland vs West Virginia prediction for college basketball!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
