#Badgers vs. Maryland | Gard Your Fickell's Game Prediction

The other Analytics Experts have this one a tad different than I do. They all have Maryland as 3-4 Point Favorites. I've got UW as a 1.31 Point Favorite. It's an extremely even matchup across the board, with UW having a slight edge on NoT eFG% & FT EFF. Where Maryland has the edge is on rebounding, boosting their STOP FACTOR (OPP NoT eFG% / DREB%).

If you could make a gripe about Wisconsin's offense, it would be their OFF REB % is far too low, coming in at 280th in my Adj OREB metric. They are 13th in NoT_eFG%, and 24th in FT EFF.  Two areas that Maryland excels at disrupting. UW will have to attack the glass with some vigor tonight if they want to get out of Maryland with a W
