Ohio State women’s basketball comes up just short of a top-10 win in its regular-season finale, falling 76-74 to Maryland at the Schottenstein Center.
Maryland controlled the scoreboard for most of the second quarter after pulling ahead with a 7-0 run early in the second quarter. Still, the Buckeyes never allowed the Terrapins to take a lead of more than seven points. Maryland took a 38-33 lead into the second half after a two-point make by Meyers just before the halftime buzzer.
After the Terrapins tied in the game in the first minute of the fourth quarter with five straight points by Meyers, neither team would lead by more than four points for the remainder of the game. Six straight missed field goals and a pair of missed free throws by Rikki Harris by the Buckeyes in the game’s final three minutes, however, would seal Ohio State’s fate as the Terrapins won by two.
Ohio State will begin the postseason next Friday in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. The Buckeyes, who earned the last double bye in the conference tournament as the No. 4 seed, will play their first game of the tournament – likely against their rival Michigan, who will be the No. 5 seed in the tournament – at approximately 3 p.m. next Friday in Minneapolis.
