Eron Harris might only be averaging 10.2 points per game, but folks can't forget that he put up 17.2 PPG with West Virginia in the 2013-14 season. Harris is no stranger to putting the ball in the hoop, and he is certainly capable of doing so at a high rate.

Just remember this: Denzel Valentine has already recorded some triple-doubles on the season. Translation: He is a triple-double waiting to happen.

Valentine is averaging 18.3 PPG, 7.6 RPG and 6.6 APG — and that is pretty much why he might end up being the Player of the Year.

The most bold part about this one? A triple-double from Valentine might not be enough for the Spartans.

If Maryland and Michigan State both show up, a buzzer-beater could decide this clash.

Nonetheless, I am giving the Terps the edge for two reasons: (1) They are loaded with talented players. (2) Now is the perfect time to play Michigan State (you know, because it has lost three games in a row).
