Line: Maryland -2
Thoughts: After escaping Wisconsin, and allowing Wisconsin to dictate the tempo, will Maryland fall into a similar trap against a better opponent? Michigan is probably without Caris LeVert, though.

Thoughts: Iowa hasn't won at the Breslin Center since 1993 with most of those in blowout fashion. Michigan State is looking to avenge their only loss of the season, has learned to play without Valentine, and it will be Valentine's second game back after knocking off some rust against Penn State. I'm not feeling very good about Iowa's chances.
