The Big-10 is known for its physicality and defensive-oriented style, and remain the only power conference in college basketball that has not seen a total set in a conference game of 154 or higher over the last decade. Maryland is 12-1 to start the season, has played to a 7-4 mark to the UNDER in their 11 lined games, and against the top four teams they have played against they are 3-1 to the UNDER. Illinois also comes in at 7-4 to the UNDER in their 11 lined games. Both of these teams have defended well, neither allowing greated than 41.5% shooting against them, and both have been above average defending the three-point shot. Big-10 Conference games are notoriously played in the halfcourt, with the defenses prevailing. Play this one to finish UNDER.
