it does seem like 4 points should be 6 or 7.
On paper Maryland has won 5 straight, by 8, 9, 13, 14 and 18.

Maybe the word is out that Matt Nicholson's gonna play tonight!

Let's assume Vegas is right. It often is.

How do the Cats make up those 6 six points?

I think they need one player with 15+ points. My hope is Buie but I'll take it from anybody.

I think they need two more players in double-digits ... let's say Kopp and Young. Hopefully Young is one of them with 14 or 15 points. That would give the Cats an inside game, and open things up a bit..

Hopefully, they can limit themselves to 10 turnovers.

I happen to be in Vegas for work. Couldn’t help but place homer bets on the Cats at -4.5 and +165

This aged fairly well. Buie with 15 on the nose, partial credit for two other players in double digits (Audige and Nance), and partial credit for 12 turnovers vs 10 predicted, though I think one was erroneously given to Audige when the double tech happened, so I'm gonna say 11.

I think Nance or Young needs to be one of those three scorers in most games to demonstrate a legitimate inside game ... or at least one that pulls a big outside.

I'd be interested to look at 3-pt defense also, but I'm too lazy. I'd bet that's a factor.
