The Maryland men’s basketball team commenced its Big Ten schedule with a masterful performance Wednesday night, storming to a massive first-half lead against stunned Ohio State and facing limited resistance thereafter for an 83-59 victory at Xfinity Center.
Point guard Ja’Kobi Gillespie led five players in double figures with 23 points on 7-for-11 shooting, helping the Terrapins (8-1) collect their fifth straight win. The junior transfer from Belmont went 4 of 8 on three-pointers and 5 of 5 at the line with four assists to fuel Maryland’s first Quadrant 1 triumph this season.
