COLUMBUS, Ohio — After trailing since 2:49 remained in the first half, No. 7 Maryland men’s basketball managed to bring the deficit within five points with less than four minutes left against No. 25 Ohio State.
Throughout this season, the Terps had made their mark as the comeback kids, overcoming multiple 14-point deficits — including two in the final period of play — to find a way to victory, and they hoped to do the same Sunday afternoon to earn their 10th consecutive win.
But with 3:56 left, Anthony Cowan Jr. slammed his fist on the floor and kicked his feet in frustration into the back of his defender once the referees didn’t call Ohio State for a foul on his layup attempt, which brought him crashing to the ground.
