Hawaii got a bit of a break in the first round and took advantage of an undermanned California team, but they won’t get any breaks on Sunday vs the No. 5 seed Maryland Terrapins. The Terps are currently on a run that’s seen them win seven straight games SU as favorites in March and will look to make Hawaii their eighth straight victim.

- Maryland is 21-3 SU as favorites this season.
- Hawaii is 3-3 SU as underdogs this season.
Those banking on Hawaii as this year’s Cinderella, take note —The Rainbow Warriors, which is either the best or worst team name in the tourney depending on your outlook, are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Also of note for those backing Hawaii — Maryland has lost five straight games in Round 2. Their last second round win came in 2003.
Conversely, Maryland has history working in their favor as No. 13 seeds have only beaten a No. 5 seed once since 2000. They opened as 6.5-point favorites — a number they’ve been successful at covering, going 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in that spot.
