Maryland vs. Nebraska Key Player to Watch

Pryce Sandfort, F - Nebraska Cornhuskers

Pryce Sandfort is leading this Nebraska team in scoring, averaging 17.9 points per game. His biggest strength, and the reason for Nebraska's strong record, is his sharp-shooting from beyond the arc. He's hitting his 3-point shots at a rate of 41%. If he can keep that up, Nebraska is going to be a dangerous team to face in March.

Maryland vs. Nebraska Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm laying the points on Nebraska:

I'm going to jump at the chance to fade Maryland in any spot that makes sense, and tonight is one of those areas. Maryland is one of the worst power conference teams in the country this season, ranking outside the top 300 in both effective field goal percentage and defensive efficiency. Nebraska, by comparison, ranks 25th and 13th in those two metrics.

Both teams rank inside the top 50 in three-point shot rate, but Nebraska ranks in the top 10 in perimeter defense while the Terps rank 347th, allowing teams to shoot 37.5% from beyond the arc.

This game has all the signs of a blowout in favor of the Cornhuskers.

Pick: Nebraska -16 (-110)
