Our Maryland Terrapins vs Florida Prediction
Florida is easily one of the title favorites at this point as they do almost everything at an elite level. However, the one area that could use some improvement is their free-throw shooting. The Gators went 22 of 34 (64.7%) from the line against UConn and while they still won the game, they failed to cover and made the game much closer than it needed to be.
Of course, Maryland was fortunate to get a win against Colorado State but compared to Florida, they are the better three-point shooting team and the better free-throw shooting team. Because Florida has the potential to struggle again from the free-throw line, our Maryland Terrapins vs Florida Gators prediction is Maryland +6.5.Caesars Rewards Program
