College Basketball Betting Picks & Predictions: Maryland vs. Louisville
Maryland-Louisville Team Total Under
Maryland is six games into the Kevin Willard era, but already the Terrapins have bought into the aggressive defensive principles he brought with him from Seton Hall. Maryland ranks 41st in adjusted defensive efficiency, 32nd in effective field goal percentage defense, and has allowed opponents to connect on just 26.3% of their 3-point attempts (ranks 24th). Louisville was outscored by 25.6 points per game in its three losses in Maui and has not scored more than 62 points in any of its last four. The KFC Yum! Center crowd will become restless early, especially if the 0-6 Cardinals get off to another poor start.
Bet: Louisville Team Total Under 61 (-110 at DraftKings)
