No. 23 Ohio State (18-9, 11-7) was out muscled, efforted, and rebounded during their 75-60 loss to Maryland on Sunday afternoon in College Park. If that introduction sounds familiar, it’s because it should be. It’s exactly how I described the Buckeyes’ loss to Iowa just over a week ago. It’s a trend that has reared its ugly head several times this season — Ohio State in position to win a basketball game, but lackadaisical effort costs them a victory. Unfortunately, those effort-based losses likely will be what keeps them from claiming a share of the Big Ten title this season.
March sadness: Buckeyes fall to last-place Nebraska, 78-70.
