(10) Maryland 18-12 vs. (7) California 22-9<\/h2>\n

2009 NCAA Tournament<\/a> Round 1 Action<\/strong>
\nThursday March 19, 2:55 PM ET
\nKansas City, MO Sprint Center – West Region<\/p>\n

The Terrapins are 3-0 ATS is the last 3 games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13. They are 5-2 ATS on neutral courts in 08-09. The under is 6-1 in the last 7 overall. The under is also 6-2 in last 8 non-conference games and 7-1 in last 8 neutral court games.Maryland took 7th in the difficult ACC. The heart and soul of this team is Greivis Vasquez and his 17.2 pts per game. He will not go down without a fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Golden Bears are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 overall. They are 0-2 ATS on neutral courts in 08-09. They are also 0-2 ATS vs. other BCS conferences with winning records. They have 4 players averaging over 9.5 pts per game but no one else is averaging over 5. They are not a deep team with only 7 players getting double figure minutes. California took 4th in a weak Pac 10 Conference.<\/p>\n

I look for Maryland to use their toughness gained through the ACC to their advantage. Vasquez should have an outstanding game. I expect Maryland to pull off the minor upset in the first round.<\/p>\n

Last Game Out:<\/h3>\n

Last game for Maryland: Loss 61-67 vs. Duke
\nLast game for California: Loss 75-79 vs. USC<\/p>\n
