A disastrous start to the second half sealed OSU’s fate Sunday as the Buckeyes turned the ball over five times in the first three minutes and missed their first eight shots.
The Terrapins pressed Ohio State on every made bucket from the start of the game. Only Ohio State handled it without much trouble early on. Things changed when the intensity was ratcheted up another notch in the second half, though, and the Buckeyes turned the ball over multiple times out of the press to help spur on Maryland’s critical run.
After Maryland mounted its 14-point edge, Ohio State embarked on a 13-2 run that brought it back within three points with 6:15 to play. It was still a one-possession game with 2:40 to play, as back-to-back Roddy Gayle makes kept it a three-point contest in crunch time. But the hole Ohio State dug for itself early in the half was just an inch too deep.
Ohio State hit five field goals to Maryland’s three in the final five minutes of play. But the Terps hit 10 free throws in that stretch. The Buckeyes didn’t even attempt one.
