Tyrese Rice is one of the most explosive scorers in the ACC, as the Boston College standout is netting 19.8 ppg overall and an even more impressive 21.3 ppg in ACC games. While Rice is the primary offensive option, there are two other double-digit scorers in the lineup. Rakim Sanders adds 12.5 ppg to the mix, and Shamari Spears rounds out the trio with 10.6 ppg. BC is generating 72.7 ppg while allowing 70.3 ppg to the opposition. Rice scored 17 points against Clemson on Saturday, but he was the only double-digit scorer for the Tigers. Sure, they shot 51.3 percent from the floor, but the fact that they only finished with 39 field goal attempts in 40 minutes of action is concerning. Boston College managed just eight assists and turned the ball over 20 times. A 31-24 rebounding disadvantage also hurt the cause.

Go with Maryland in this clash, as it is simply the better team. Expect the Terps to pull ahead down the stretch and earn a solid road win.
