My Prediction
Maryland Terrapins by 6Now buckle up, because Maryland will be stepping into the ring with Wisconsin and there's no telling how this one is going to shake down. Through the magnifying glass, we're looking at Wisconsin Badger's dominant force, John Blackwell, the man has been averaging 20.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game in the last month - slacking off he is not. Then there's John Tonje, a fine addition, producing an average of 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 assists for the past month. Landing right into Terrapin territory, Julian Reese doesn't haven't an ounce of quit in him, averaging 15.9 points and 9.7 rebounds in the last month. Derik Queen helps to bolster Maryland's team, putting up 13.1 points, and 7.9 rebounds per game in the last month - a commendable performance.
Considering history between these two teams, Maryland has a bitter taste to wash away, given the heavy 56-87 defeat last time they visited Wisconsin. Past performance though does tell us that both teams are potentially capable of stealing the show.
Regular season? The Badgers are boasting a 16-4 record, an impressive tally indeed. Maryland Terrapins though aren't far behind with a 16-5 record - it's a neck and neck race, if you ask me.
Recent leagues haven't shown a clear upper hand. The Badgers did secure a massive 83-55 win against the Cornhuskers most recently, but let's not forget, Terrapins also had a hard-fought victory against the Hoosiers 79-78 on their turf.
To wrap it up with the cherry on top, AP ranking happens to favor the Badgers who are ranked 17th in Big Ten, while the Terrapins, unfortunately, are yet to make the cut.
Now comes the fun part, the prediction. And here’s where the coin lands. Grab some popcorn, my friends. The Maryland Terrapins may just have it in them to defy expectations given their form.
