Friday’s March Madness matchup between the No. 4 Maryland Terrapins and No. 13 Grand Canyon Antelopes has the potential to be one of the best games of the Round of 64.
The Terrapins have been circled for tournament glory since conference play, with a dynamic offense and a Top-40 defense out of the Big Ten. They run into an exciting Antelopes squad that nearly flipped the bracket upside down last year and have the potential to do it again in 2025.
I’m a big fan of GCU, at least in the first 20 minutes. That’s where you’ll find my best Grand Canyon vs. Maryland predictions and March Madness picks for March 21.
Who will win Grand Canyon vs Maryland?
While I think GCU can put a scare in the Terps, Maryland will advance to the Round of 32. The odds currently give the Terrapins an implied win probability of 86%.
Grand Canyon vs Maryland prediction
My best bet: Grand Canyon 1H +6 (-110 at bet365)
Flash back to last March and the Grand Canyon Antelopes are standing toe-to-toe with Alabama in the Round of 32. Grand Canyon did lose that matchup with the Crimson Tide, but the experience let Bryce Drew & Co. know they can play with anyone in the country.
This season, Grand Canyon could have a better shot at getting back to the Round of 32 and beyond.
Tyon Grant-Foster had an up-and-down year due to injury but is healthy for this postseason run and has support with transfer JaKobe Coles sharing the scoring load. All in all, GCU has four players scoring double figures.
The Antelopes up-tempo attack is fueled by chaos on the defensive end. Grand Canyon holds foes to the 26th-lowest effective field goal rate and it sucks opponents in with its frenetic pace, leading to 15 forced turnovers per contest. The Lopes then flip those miscues into buckets, scoring almost 16 POTOVs an outing.
If these attributes sound familiar, it’s because the Maryland Terrapins are cut from a very similar cloth.
The Terrapins have the No. 6 defense in the country and are excellent at transforming turnovers into points (18 POTOV). Maryland also gets scoring from multiple sources, with the now infamous “Crab Five” featuring every starter scoring 12-plus points per game.
So why stick to the first half spread with GCU?
Grand Canyon comes out swinging, scoring 38.4 points in the first half (29th in the country), and its talent and defense will keep things close in the opening 20 minutes. The Antelopes own the second best first-half defensive rating in the country (behind only Houston) and sit just ahead of Maryland in that derivative metric.
The biggest difference between these two programs is the Terrapins’ outside shooting. Maryland can get streaky from distance but once the Big Dance nerves settle, I expect the Terps to start taking and making more shots from the perimeter. They’ll make adjustments at halftime, and their surplus of skills will eventually tip the scales.
Grand Canyon has managed to cover the spread in just 13 of its past 34 games (38%) but has covered the 1H spread in 19 of those same outings (56%). The Antelopes own an average 1H margin of +7.2 but see that tighten to +1.7 in the second half.
Full game projections range from Maryland -14 to -7 with my number at Terps -10.5. This spread got as high as Maryland -11.5 before coming down a point. However, the first half line jumped from GCU +5.5 to +6 and doesn’t reflect just how strong the Lopes are from the tipoff.
Grand Canyon vs Maryland same-game parlay (SGP)
Grand Canyon 1H +7.5
Under 71.5 1H
Ja’Kobi Gillespie 2+ 3-pointers
The Antelopes put Maryland on its heels in the first 20 minutes. The SGP menu offers +7.5 as the closest 1H derivative.
We have the No. 2 and No. 3 1H defenses in the country. Let’s say points come at a premium in the opening frame.
Gillespie will hit two or more triples to push the Terps ahead in the second half.

Grand jury indicts cornhole player, quadruple amputee in Maryland murder case
What to know about Quadruple amputee charged with murder
A quadruple amputee professional cornhole player has been charged with murder and related offenses over a fatal Charles County shooting on March 22, 2026. Dayton James Webber of La Plata, Md., was arrested in Charlottesville, Va., and arraigned in Charles County for the fatal shooting of Bradrick Michael Wells. Webber was arrested at a Virginia hospital and faces first- and second-degree murder charges as he awaits extradition to Charles County.
CHARLES COUNTY, Md. – Dayton Webber, the professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee accused in a deadly shooting, was indicted by a grand jury on Friday on first-degree murder charges.
What we know:
Webber is accused of fatally shooting 27‑year‑old Bradrick Michael Wells in La Plata on March 22.
Webber picked up two witnesses from work in a vehicle, with Bradrick Wells already in the front passenger seat, according to charging documents. The documents state that, while driving, an argument broke out between Webber and Wells.
Two witnesses told police that Webber pulled out a firearm and shot Wells twice in the head during the argument. Webber then pulled the vehicle over and asked the passengers to remove Wells from the car, which they refused.
The two witnesses exited the vehicle and flagged down a police officer, the documents state, while Webber drove off with Wells still inside the car. A resident in Charlotte Hall discovered Wells’ body on the side of the road and contacted police.
Police say that Webber’s vehicle was later located in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Webber was found at a hospital seeking treatment. Webber was extradited from Albemarle County Detention Center last month and bough to Charles County, Maryland.
What they’re saying:
“At the end of the day, we’re dealing with a homicide. Someone lost their life. And from that base perspective, our job is to make sure that we put the case together, we prepare the case and be ready for trial,” said Karen Piper Mitchell, Deputy State’s Attorney for Charles County.
What’s next:
Mitchell said the attention the case has received could mean a longer jury selection process.
“It may be a more lengthy jury selection because you have to make sure that people can be fair and impartial based on what they’re going to hear in the courtroom, not based on what it is they may have seen in whatever news report or Internet or everything, so you take the time making sure that you do select a fair and impartial jury,” said Mitchell.
Dig deeper:
Webber lost all four limbs as an infant due to a severe bacterial infection, according to previous reports.
He gained recognition over the years for competing in sports and other activities despite his disability.
Webber has shared videos on YouTube showing himself participating in outdoor and recreational activities, including hunting and shooting firearms.
Some videos show him climbing elevated hunting stands with a rifle and firing a muzzleloader, based on clips posted to social media platforms.
In one video, captioned “No Hands No Feet vs 15 foot Ladder Stand!!!! #nolimits #mossyoak #hunting #inspiration #motivation,” he is seen climbing a hunting stand with a rifle on his back.
Another video, captioned “No Hands No Feet Shooting .54 cal Caplock Muzzleloader!!!!!! #nolimits #TheWorldWontWait #gun,” shows him firing a muzzleloader.
