The 20th-ranked Maryland Terrapins aim to extend their three-game winning streak as they host the USC Trojans in a crucial Big Ten matchup on Thursday night at Xfinity Center. With wins over Rutgers, Nebraska, and Iowa in their last consecutive games, Maryland now sits fifth in the conference standings.
USC has struggled recently, losing three of its last four games, including a close 69-66 loss to Minnesota last Saturday. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
The latest odds have Maryland favored by 10.5 points, with an over/under of 153 points. A college basketball model that simulates every Division 1 game 10,000 times has analyzed the matchup and recommends leaning towards the under. The model also suggests a point-spread pick that is hitting in more than 60% of simulations.
