Michigan&#8217;s turnover woes have made everything difficult for the maize-and-blue over the last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michigan has been operating at a -2.4 turnover differential per game this season. You have to go back to January 27 against Penn State to find the last time Michigan won the turnover battle in a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironically, that game was also the first of Michigan&#8217;s six-game winning streak where the Wolverines did not win any contest by more than four points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maryland is equipped with everything you&#8217;d like to see from a road team in March. Unlike Michigan, Maryland&#8217;s offense is top-40 in the country in turnover rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland vs Michigan Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less than 36-percent of the Terps&#8217;s field goal attempts come from the three-point line, so Maryland is not reliant on three-point shooting. Maryland was +8 in turnovers and forced 13 steals in Saturday&#8217;s road win at Penn State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Six-foot-ten freshman Derik Queen is going to have his hands full in the paint trying to defend Michigan&#8217;s post players, but the Terps have a handful of guards that can make it very difficult for seven-footers Danny Wolf and Vlad Goldin to get the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland vs Michigan Prediction: Maryland +2.5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GoldSheet Top Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you enjoy written analysis, breaking down stats or creating your own power ratings, The Basketball GoldSheet has something for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Basketball GoldSheet newsletter features stat breakdowns for every NBA and college basketball game each day, plus in-depth written analysis on our Key Releases by 12pm ET \/ 9am PT each morning.
