The Maryland Terrapins (7-10, 0-6 Big Ten) are set to host the Penn State Nittany Lions (9-8, 0-6 Big Ten) today at the Xfinity Center in College Park, MD. Tipoff for this Big Ten battle is scheduled for 12 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by the Big Ten Network.

Penn State got off to a strong start this season, going 8-1 before facing their first conference opponent. They have since gone 1-7 with losses to Pittsburgh and a win over North Carolina Central, along with a 0-6 start in conference play. They last played on Wednesday, vs. UCLA, and took their sixth conference loss and eighth overall 71-60. But they were competitive against No. 9 Michigan State and No. 2 Michigan, losing by a single basket to both.As for the Terrapins,  it looked like they may be gaining some momentum early on after a four-game win streak improved their record to 5-1, but a 39-point loss to No. 12 Gonzaga and 33-point loss to No. 8 Alabama brought them back down to Earth. A win over Wagner got them back on the right side of the scoreboard, but they have since lost seven of eight to fall to 7-10 on the season.

Our Maryland Terrapins vs Penn State Nittany Lions Prediction

I don’t know why Maryland is favored in this game. Yes, they are the home team in this game, but that is not enough of a reason to make them the favorite. Maryland has a negative point differential; Penn State’s is not great, but at least it’s a positive one, and they’ve played a tougher schedule (No. 65 to No. 78 for Maryland). The best bet for this game is clear.
