Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Maryland +5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Maryland +5
- Colby Dant (@TheColbyD): Maryland +5
Colby set this up as a rivalry first. These two used to play in the same conference, he would like to see them meet twice a year, and he expects the building to be as loud as it gets all season.
He did not pretend Virginia was soft. By his account Virginia is 4-0, just beat Arkansas by about 20 and looks Final Four good, even with only four games on the board. Maryland, by his count, is 1-1 after Georgetown beat it by double digits. His read is that Maryland has to show up for this one, and that the Georgetown loss may have been a look-ahead to the bigger rivalry.
The guys also pointed to Maryland as the top offensive rebounding team in the country, and they like that team as an underdog in its own arena. One of the guys summed up the room: what are we even talking about? All three ended on Maryland +5.
