\"Week
Maryland is favored by 1.5 points over rival Georgia Tech<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tonight’s game brings together ACC rivals the Maryland Terps against the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets.\u00a0 Both teams are playing decent ball, with Maryland clocking in at 13-7 and Georgia Tech a game over .500 at 10-9, and they are both tied in ACC play with a 3-3 conference record for both teams.<\/p>\n

Maryland has clearly been the better team through this point in the season.\u00a0 Their win differential is +13.7 as they score 76.8 a game and only give up 63.1.\u00a0 Georgia Tech has a positive win differential of +4.4, scoring 70.9 and giving up 66.5.\u00a0 The combinative totals of the teams’ offensive output is 146.8, suggesting that a bet on the ‘over’ may be a prudent bet to make.<\/p>\n

Some betting trends:<\/p>\n

Maryland is 6-3 SU in their last 9 road games and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of their last 5 road games.\u00a0 The’y are 4-2 SU in their last 6 road games against Georgia Tech and the total has gone OVER in 4 of those 6 games.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech is 20-3 SU in their last 23 home games and they are 1-9 SU in their last 10 against the Terps.\u00a0 The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Georgia Tech’s last 6 games against Maryland and Georgia Tech is 2-4 SU in their last 6 home games against the Terps.<\/p>\n

Maryland is led by 6’10” sophmore Jordan Williams, who is averaging 17 points per game and 11.8 board a game.\u00a0 He is also averaging over a block a game with 1.2 blocks per night.\u00a0 He’s scored in double figures in all but two of Maryland’s games, but one of them was the last game against Virginia, who took him out of his element and allowed him only 5 field goal attempts in 32 minutes.\u00a0 He’s also had a double double in all but 3 games and his best game of the year was the second game against the College of Charleston when he scored 26 points and grabbed 15 boards in a 1 point Maryland victory.\u00a0 The only other Maryland player to average double figures in points is 6’6″ senior Cliff Tucker who puts up 11.7 a game.\u00a0 He’s an effective three point shooter (39.7%) and he has been relatively steady and consistent, with no real big games and only 4 games with under 10 points.<\/p>\n

Georgia Tech is led by 6\u20195? junior guard Iman Shumpert, who posts averages of 16.5 points per game, 3.4 assists per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, and 2.5 steals per contest.\u00a0 He\u2019s effective at getting to the basket and averages 5.2 free throw attempts per game.\u00a0 Over his last three games he is averaging 23 points per game and 6.7 rebounds per game, including a 30 point game in a win over UNC on January 16th.\u00a0 They also get big contributions from Glen Rice Jr., a 6\u20195? sophomore son of NBA legend Glen Rice.\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s not quite the shooter his father was, but he does average 12.9 points in 28 minutes a game and is still developing.\u00a0 In his freshman season he shot 46.7% from three, but had a small sample size of 60 attempts on the year.\u00a0 Georgia Tech\u2019s only other big cog in the machine is 6\u20196? sophomore swingman Brian Oliver.\u00a0 Oliver is second on the team in minutes played and averages 10.6 points per game.\u00a0 He\u2019s having a horrible year from behind the arc, having gone 32 of 105.\u00a0 He\u2019s already had two games with 11 attempted threes, though, so he\u2019s not afraid to fire away from downtown.<\/p>\n

Tonight’s game should be a good one between the two rivals. Maryland is slightly favored by college basketball oddsmakers, but Georgia Tech is a very good home team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
