Ohio State basketball at Maryland preview, prediction, and odds

The Ohio State basketball team travels to Maryland for another Big Ten challenge Monday night. We’ve got a preview, odds, and a prediction.

How It’ll All Go Down

This won’t be an easy game for Ohio State. Maryland plays hard, and despite not having fans in the stands, tends to still play much better at home. It’ll be a slower-paced half-court game with both teams trading blows. Ohio State has more options to score on offense and will find a way to keep things rolling in a close one. It’ll be a dog fight though, because… well — the Big Ten.

Final Score

Ohio State 71, Maryland 65
