Contrasting Styles (Erik Scheponik)
Today’s Butler/Maryland game features one of the biggest contrast of styles that you’ll see in the NCAA. Maryland is among the NCAA leaders at right around 75 possessions/game, while Butler is among the slowest at right around 60 possessions/game. With Maryland’s huge edge in athleticism, expect Butler to put everything it has into getting back on defense and boxing out. The Bulldogs do these things well, and are a weak offensive rebounding team anyway, so it won’t be a huge adjustment.
This game was a classic example of where a side/total parlay was co-dependent as Maryland/Over and Butler/Under parlays were definitely correlated.
Steve, that’s exactly what I did with the game. Butler and the Under.
