Backing Illinois at home is the move in this matchup, as they are well-equipped to neutralize Maryland's biggest advantage. Maryland’s success relies heavily on dominating the post through Angel Reese and Shyanne Queen, typically using their size to overpower opponents. However, Illinois' frontcourt is built to counter this strategy, led by 7'1", 230-pound Croatian center Tomislav Ivisic. His presence in the paint will make it tough for Maryland’s bigs to get easy looks, forcing the Terrapins to rely more on perimeter shooting—an area outside of their comfort zone.
Illinois boasts the ninth most efficient defense in the nation, according to KenPom, and their ability to contest shots and limit easy scoring opportunities will make life difficult for Maryland. On the offensive end, Ivisic presents an additional challenge. His ability to step out and knock down threes—evidenced by his 28 made triples this season—will draw Reese or Queen out of the paint, creating open driving lanes for Illinois' guards and wings to exploit.
As one of the top teams in the Big Ten, Illinois has proven their mettle on both ends of the floor. Look for the Illini to showcase their balanced attack and defensive prowess in this game, securing a strong home win while covering the spread against the Terrapins. Take Illinois ATS
