Why Ohio State can cover

Ohio State generated momentum for the first time in more than a month when it took down Illinois as a 4-point underdog on Sunday afternoon. The Buckeyes made a lineup change last week, starting four true freshmen in back-to-back games. Bruce Thornton scored 20 points for Ohio State in the win over the Illini, while fellow freshman Brice Sensabaugh scored 14. 

Senior Justice Sueing played his role as a veteran, posting a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Sensabaugh is one of the top freshmen in college basketball, leading Ohio State with 16.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. The Buckeyes are riding a remarkable 13-game winning streak in Wednesday home games, while Maryland has only covered the spread six times in its last 20 March games. 

Why Maryland can cover

Ohio State finally snapped its cold stretch on Sunday, but the Buckeyes had lost nine straight games and 14 of their last 15 prior to that contest. Maryland completed a 10-0 home conference record on Sunday, cruising to a double-digit win against a streaking Northwestern team. The Terrapins became the second team in league history to go 10-0 in Big Ten home games, joining Purdue (2018-19). 

Senior guard Jahmir Young leads Maryland with 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, scoring in double figures in every game since Jan. 1. Hakim Hart (12.0), Donta Scott (12.0) and Julian Reese (11.2) are each double-digit scorers as well. They are 9-4 straight up and against the spread in their last 13 games against Ohio State, and they have gone 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall this season.
