Ohio State just keeps on winning games in various ways. Monday night, Maryland beat the Buckeyes in the mouth, and it worked for a while.
The Terrapins played a physical ball with a lot of movement to the edge that resulted in an early lead. Like so many games before this season, OSU found a way to get points with what the opposition gave, climbed on defense and won another road game in the rough and ten big ten with the score 73-65.
There’s a lot to unpack at this one, especially about the way the Buckeyes reacted and took care of things in the face of a team that looks motivated and intends to turn a few heads over the university basketball world tonight.
As with every game, here are three things we have observed and can take away from the fifth consecutive win in Ohio State and a win in eight of the last nine.
