The Maryland Terrapins will take their undefeated record on the road to face a struggling Louisville Cardinals team searching for their first win of the season.
To suggest that Louisville has struggled in the game is to put it mildly. The Cardinals have lost to Appalachian State, Wright State, and Bellarmine. The thought of the Cardinals beginning their Big Ten schedule is frightening to ponder. How will the red-hot Terrapins fare on the road?
Maryland Terrapins vs. Louisville Cardinals: Betting Odds
The Maryland Terrapins were going to be favorites, given how well they started, combined with how Louisville has struggled out of the gates. A 13-point spread is tough to digest at first glance but obtainable. Maryland has blown out their opponents thus far, but their opponents have been teams such as Niagara, Binghamton, and Coppin State. As bad as Louisville has been, the Cardinals are one of the better teams that Maryland has faced.
The early-season scouting report on the Terrapins is all about their shooting. Maryland is prone to substantial droughts on offense when their shots aren't falling. When Maryland is connecting from deep, they look impressive. Maryland is the same as any team in the Big Ten -- this is a make-or-miss conference.
Louisville will be as familiar with the Maryland program as anyone. If you recall, Danny Manning, who is now on the Cardinals' staff, was formerly the interim head coach for Maryland. If anyone has intimate knowledge of the opposition, it would be Danny Manning.

Maryland Terrapins vs. Louisville Cardinals: Prediction
How will the Maryland Terrapins handle the rigors of their first 'real' road test? Maryland is a better basketball team than the Louisville Cardinals. The Cardinals are lost at the moment, searching for an identity.
Louisville is going to be in a rebuilding year, no matter how you slice it, but the early results have been worse than anyone expected. Maryland is a talented bunch and is now ranked in the Top 25. The 13-point spread is a tough pill to swallow, but I'm taking the bait. I see no reason to suggest that Louisville could slow down a red-hot Maryland team. Even on the road, Maryland pulls away late and with ease. Take the Terps.
Final Prediction: Terrapins -13 (-110)
