Penn State got off to a strong start this season, going 8-1 before facing their first conference opponent.

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.
