The Maryland Terrapins have been great on the court, but not so much at the window this season. The Terps are 5-0 SU, but just 2-3 ATS and, dating back to last season, the team is just 1-4 ATS in their past five following a win. Maryland will take on the Cleveland State Vikings Saturday.
There is no doubt that the buck starts and stops with Melo Trimble for Maryland, but his last outing was astounding. The sophomore guards shot a perfect 7-for-7 on field goals while going 3-for-3 from the free throw line. The rest of the starting five has been more than adept offensively for the Terrapins, with four of the five starters averaging 12.2 points or more this season.
Cleveland State is 2-3 SU, but oddly enough, all but one of those games have been decided by at least 12 points.
