Oklahoma State has won two in a row since their first loss of the season to the 4th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels.

Maryland is coming off their first loss of the season in their last game, as they lost to Pittsburgh 73-59 failing to cover as a 4-point favorite. The total number of points scored in the game was 132, which was under the closing line of 144. The Terrapins had won their first six games of the season.

Public Money Consensus

In this NCAAB matchup between Oklahoma State and Maryland the public is evenly split on the game. The under appears to be the bet here with 66% thinking this game will not go over the posted total of 162.

Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Maryland Terrapins Prediction

The Cowboys play run and gun and their speed can be too much for many opponents to handle, but the Terrapins are not one those. Maryland hasn’t had a regulation time game go over today’s posted total line since back on March 11th when they beat Nebraska 97-86. The host is shooting a paltry 40% from the field this season so don’t look for them to light it up even against Oklahoma State’s loose defensive play.
