There have been plenty of questions about Maryland coming into the NCAA Tournament and Friday’s 5-point win didn’t help much. The Terps failed to cover the spread in the win and face an even-tougher team today in Hawaii. The Warriors were able to take advantage of a beat-up Cal team, but the Warriors still know how to win and expect to win at this point. Hawaii has covered in four straight against Big Ten opponents and 7 of their last 10 against winning teams. Look for the Warriors to potentially pull off the upset.
