Maryland Terrapins vs Houston Cougars Preview & Prediction

Vasquez. When you talk about the Terps that’s what you need to know. He is impossible to stop when he is hot and will need that streakiness to be on the positive side now. They are much improved over last year, but need to find another gun if Vasquez goes cold. Williams can rebound with Hayes and Mosley being solid players. It’s a capable team all around that doesn’t beat itself and keeps the ball. They will ride as far as Vasquez can carry them.

Houston is led by Aubrey Coleman, the nation’s leading scorer. He can rebound, score, and defend. If he stays inside he can be a force. Lewis is the able co-host who can shoot threes and does it often. Wade provides defense and gets the ball to the scorers. Brown and Nixon carry the bench. If the big men can keep a physical presence and keep pressure off the backcourt, it’s a strong offensive team, otherwise it’s just a fun team to watch until they lose.

The odds makers have Maryland as -9 -point favorites.

Vasquez v Coleman.  The difference is the Terps have more weapons to hit you with and will use them all on the Cougars to win this one by five points.
