Maryland Basketball: Terps fend off Ohio State

The Maryland basketball team has thrived in close games all season.

That trend continued on Tuesday evening as the Terrapins topped Ohio State in a hard-fought 77-71 win in Columbus. The win gave Maryland their best start in program history.

Forward Justin Jackson turned in another marvelous performance as he scored a game-high 22 points (8-of-12 shooting) and grabbed 12 rebounds. He became the first Maryland player to record back-to-back double since Jordan Williams did it during the NCAA Tournament in 2010.

Guard Melo Trimble added 13 points and four assists while Anthony Cowan had 11 points and five assists.
