Many might have penciled in a win for Ohio State when taking on a Maryland team it beat by 15 three weeks ago, but the Terps told a different story on Sunday.
After taking a four-point lead to halftime in College Park, Maryland never relinquished it in the second half, as No. 22 Ohio State couldn’t come back to notch its second road win in the past four days. The Terrapins topped the Buckeyes, 75-60, to even the season series with Ohio State following a Feb. 6 loss in Columbus.
Down just a couple possessions for most of the final period, Ohio State appeared poised to make a late run when Cedric Russell hit a 3-pointer to make it a four-point game with 6:43 to play.
