The Terrapins briefly got back into Saturday's game against Michigan, but ultimately succumbed to perhaps the best team in the Big 10. The Hawkeyes were largely outplayed by upstart Rutgers but came back win on a dramatic buzzer-beater for the second straight game. Look for a letdown spot by Iowa against a Maryland club that has the better overall personnel and should exploit its advantage in the paint.

Iowa is 13-2 at home, and leads the Big Ten with 81.2 points per game entering Tuesday's game against visiting Maryland. I'm expecting a big performance from the Hawkeyes. In my simulations, the Hawkeyes are covering 64 percent of the time. Lay the points.
