The first time Ohio State took on Maryland this season, it desperately needed a win. The Buckeyes were hoping to end a three-game losing streak at home, but the Terrapins thoroughly outplayed them and left Columbus with a decisive 75-61 victory.
The two teams will meet for a second time in just over a month at 2 p.m. Sunday, this time in College Park, Maryland. And just like the last time they met up, Ohio State could really use a win.
With just five regular-season games remaining, the Buckeyes only have so many more opportunities for a resume-boosting win.
