Ohio State drops back-to-back games for the first time this season as it falls to Maryland on the road, 80-73.
A 1-for-16 Maryland finish from the field in the first half allowed Ohio State to take a five-point lead into the intermission. But the Buckeyes had a disastrous start to the second half, missing its first eight shots and turning the ball over five times in the opening six minutes while the Terps took control with a 14-0 run.
Maryland guard Jahmir Young had a season-best scoring showcase and his first double-double in a Terrapin uniform. The Terps took advantage of the absence of Zed Key and held a distinctive edge on the glass and in interior scoring. Maryland shot 60.9% from the field as it got out in front of the Buckeyes.
