No. 18 Maryland men’s basketball has seen its fair share of tight finishes over the course of the season. Some, like a buzzer-beating defeat at the hands of Northwestern, have been heartbreaking. Others, like its away win at Indiana, have served as triumphs.
Thursday’s contest at Ohio State fell into the former category.
Bruce Thornton nailed a clutch 3-pointer with seven seconds left in the contest to hand Maryland its first loss, 73-70, as a ranked program this season.
Despite leading by 17 points in the first half and 11 with 7:15 remaining, the Terps fell into a spell of poor form.
