NCAA Tournament Bracket: No. 7 California vs. No. 10 Maryland

Elizabeth Fairview — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:08:02 +0000

This will be the case on Thursday when the California Golden Bears take on the Maryland Terrapins. Maryland deserves plenty of credit for the way it played late in the season after most of the nation had already written off the Terps as a postseason contender. The issue for Maryland is Greivis Vasquez can only carry this team so far. Vasquez often was a one-man gang for Maryland as he carried the Terrapins into the tournament. He leads the Terps in points, rebounds, and assists.

Cal isn’t a team that runs up and down the court, but don’t make the mistake of calling the Bears a low-scoring team. Cal was remarkably efficient and leads the nation in 3-point percentage and are second in the Pac-10 in free-throw percentage. Bet on NCAA basketball in the Bodog Sportsbook now.

College Basketball Odds: Maryland vs. North Carolina

Another Maryland win in this matchup would certainly be a huge upset. North Carolina earned its fifth straight win Saturday, a 93-76 victory over North Carolina State with Tyler Hansbrough scoring 31 points against the Wolfpack.

The Tar Heels rank second in Division I with 92.4 points per game and have scored 90 points or more 11 times this season. North Carolina is only 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games.

Greivis Vasquez is averaging 11.0 points, 8.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds in two career games against the Tar Heels.

Maryland is 0-3 on the road this season, with all of those losses coming in conference play.

The Terps will be in tough to get a win against a North Carolina team with revenge on their mind. Get your NCAA basketball betting in the Bodog Sportsbook.

College Basketball Odds: Maryland vs. Duke

The Terps had lost two consecutive games and three of four before holding on to beat visiting Virginia 84-78 on Tuesday night. That should put Maryland in a better frame of mind before taking on a Duke team that is 17-1 and undefeated in the conference.

Maryland has played only two true road games this season, losing both at Miami and at Florida State last weekend. The Terps were swept by Duke last season and the Blue Devils are a perfect 11-0 at home so far this year.

A victory for the Blue Devils likely would set up a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup next week at Wake Forest. If Duke is already looking ahead to that possible matchup, Maryland could sneak up and surprise them today. Get all your NCAA odds in the Bodog Sportsbook.

College Football Picks: Maryland at Clemson

Is it time to cut bait on the No. 21 Clemson Tigers? They were drilled 34-10 at home by Alabama (+4) in their opener, a result that has been masked somewhat by three straight wins over substandard opposition – leaving the Tigers still without a payday at 0-2 ATS.

The Maryland Terrapins (3-1 SU, 2-1 ATS), on the other hand, upset Cal as a 14-point home dog after coming up short versus at Middle Tennessee (+13). The quarterback switch from injured and ineffective Jordan Steffy to Chris Turner has worked out very well for the Terps.

Maryland certainly appears to be the value pick as an 11-point road dog (-115) in Saturday’s matchup with Clemson. However, neither defense has played particularly well this year, and with two offenses that are scoring in bunches, the over is a stronger selection despite going just 1-6 the past seven meetings.
