#25 Maryland (18-6) has won 5 of their last 6 games. Their lone loss came on the road to Ohio State last Thursday. They bounced back with a home win over Rutgers on Sunday when they dropped 90 points in the 90-81 win. The Terps are a balanced team as they rank 20th on defense and 22nd on defense in the KenPom efficiency rankings. Offensively, they are very unselfish and have 5 players averaging double-digits with no one above 15.5ppg. Derik Queen, the freshman center, has been leading the way in scoring and rebounding. He is coming off his best game of his career where he scored 29 points and grabbed 15 boards in their win over Rutgers. He and the Terps will be on the road tonight when they face the Nebraska Cornhuskers (16-8). Nebraska has put together 4 straight wins after snapping a 6-game losing streak. In their most recent win, a 79-71 victory over Ohio State, they shot nearly 52% from the field as a team. This was much better than the 46.1% they have been averaging on the season. They will need to keep their hot shooting hands to knock off the visiting Terps in this contest. They lost their initial meeting with the Terps 69-66.

Our Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Maryland Terrapins Prediction
The Cornhuskers have seemingly turned a corner over their last 4 games. Now, they face a conference rival that they almost defeated on the road earlier this season. We like the revenge factor here for the Cornhuskers and believe their hot shooting will continue in this matchup where they will knock Maryland out of the top 25. It is also highly unlikely that the Terps will repeat their 40% shooting from long distance once again in this rematch.
Our prediction for Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Maryland Terrapins: Nebraska -1.5
