Michigan center Vladislav Goldin also played well against the Boilermakers on Friday. The 7’1” senior logged 15 points, 8 rebounds, an assist, 2 blocks, and 5 made free throws across 25 minutes of playing time. Goldin leads the team in scoring with 16.7 points per game this year.

Michigan vs. Maryland CBB Prediction:
Maryland matches up well with Michigan. The Wolverines have a pair of 7-footers who are averaging over 12 points per game in Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf. The Terps have a pair of capable big men themselves in 6’10” Derik Queen and 6’9” Julian Reese. Queen had 17 points and 12 rebounds in Maryland’s 71-65 road win over Michigan on March 5th. I could see him having another big game on Saturday.
What’s more, the Terps have posted a pair of double-digit wins since that game, and come into this contest riding a three-game winning streak. Maryland is also 3-0 ATS in that stretch and will be facing Michigan on equal rest. The Terrapins are 6-5 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest this season. Michigan is only 3-4 ATS in that same scenario this year. In what will likely be a hard-fought contest, I’m laying the points with Maryland in this one. The pick is Maryland -4.5 points over Michigan at Bovada.lv.
