Marquette-Maryland prediction
This is a big test for MU after getting blown out against Indiana. Maryland’s 6-foot-9 bruiser Pharrel Payne is the kind of player, in the mold of St. John’s star Zuby Ejiofor and New Mexico’s Nelly Junior Joseph, who gives the Golden Eagles all kinds of trouble. This has all the makings of a physical rock fight.
