A trip to Maryland and a Gopher game before the Vikes kick off later tonight.

Maryland
Maryland Terrapins
Record: 12-4 (2-3)
KenPom Rank: 22
Quietly a very good team, the Terrapins are going to be tough to beat.
KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN
Play both halves – The Gophers have made it a habit of playing competitive basketball for 20 minutes and then falling apart for the other. It is really hard to win Big Ten games if you only play 20 minutes of high-caliber ball.
Play with toughness – The Gopher offense is not very well executed and their defense is just OK, at some point this season comes down to toughness more than it does Xs and Os. Again, play with toughness for both halves.
Play Asuma – This kid is good and needs to play more. He plays with toughness and has a calming presence.
PREDICTION
This is just a really balanced team. The Terrapins are right around 20th in the country offensively and 20th in the country defensively. They have three players scoring 13 points per game or more and then two other guys averaging double figures. They are big, they rebound and they shoot threes well.
I fear that this road game is going to be ugly.
Minnesota – 64
Maryland – 83
