Indiana Hoosiers

17-4 (7-1)

The final game of the season for the Terps could be the game that decides who wins the regular season title. It will also be a matchup between two of the top point guards in all of college basketball.

Yogi Ferrell leads the conference in scoring (20.3 points per game), three-point percentage (55.6 percent), and three-pointers made per game. Many have compared the Hoosiers game to that of the Golden State Warriors and that is largely in part of Ferrell’s ability to score from long range. Troy Williams and James Blackmon are no slouches either.

It’s never easy to get wins at Assembly Hall, but it’s got to be done. The Hoosiers have a tough schedule down the stretch, but that should only have them more prepared when Maryland comes into town. The Terps must counter Indiana’s terrific backcourt with their presence on the inside.
