With 4.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and No. 7 Maryland women’s basketball leading 76-74, No. 16 Ohio State received the ball at mid court with a chance to tie the game or take the lead.
Ohio State guard Taylor Thierry launched an off-balance jumpshot that air balled. Freshman guard Cotie McMahon attempted a putback, but the clock struck zero before the ball went through the net.
The Terps escaped with a 76-74 victory on Friday to end the regular season at 24-5 and 15-3 in Big Ten play. Maryland will be either the two or three seed in the Big Ten Tournament starting on March 1.
