On Saturday afternoon, the Ohio State Buckeyes fell on the road against the No. 24 Maryland Terrapins, 72-62, behind a 19-point effort from the Terps’ Anthony Cowan. With the win, UMD completes the regular-season sweep of the Bucks, and sends the Scarlet and Gray deeper into the NCAA Tournament bubble, if not off of it.
Before the game even tipped off, OSU was behind the eight ball; senior guard C.J. Jackson, the Buckeyes’ second-leading scorer, was ruled out with a shoulder injury.
In his absence, Keyshawn Woods, Justin Ahrens and Musa Jallow handled the majority of the backcourt duties.
