COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The postgame meeting inside Ohio State’s locker room took longer than usual Saturday afternoon.
The Buckeyes endured a 35-point loss at the hands of No. 3-ranked Maryland — the worst in Thad Matta’s tenure as head coach at Ohio State. It was understandable for the Buckeyes to take their time in the locker room afterward. After a brief silence, there was likely a lengthy conversation by both the players and coaching staff about the state of the team.
It took around 20 minutes before the door to Ohio State’s locker room opened and players and coaches emerged.
