What we took away from Michigan basketball’s win over Maryland in its first showing in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday.

Michigan entered the Big Ten Tournament having lost two of its last three games, so in order to assert itself as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, the only thing the Wolverines couldn’t do is lose to eighth-seeded Maryland.

Well, for a minute, it looked like that was the danger.

The Terrapins came out on fire, with much more intensity and solid shooting to help fuel Maryland to a 12-point first-half lead. As the Wolverines looked out of sorts and it felt as if Michigan was in danger of losing, the maize and blue came roaring back to take a lead at the end of the first half. Would they be able to sustain that energy in the second?

The answer was yes, but there were also some in-game fireworks, which led to Juwan Howard being ejected from the game.

Ultimately, Michigan hung on to beat Maryland, 79-66, and will advance to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals.

Here are our five takeaways from the game.

Ohio State loses second-straight, this time to Michigan State. Three takeaways.

Ohio State couldn’t make the plays down the stretch to get another big road win at Michigan State. Here are three takeaways from the game.

We had ourselves a Big Ten Donnybrook in East Lansing tonight. Ohio State and Michigan State played one of those old-fashioned, slug ’em out conference games that others outside the Midwest like to criticize. And yeah, it was ugly, and even so much more so if you are a Buckeye fan because they came out on the losing end 71-67.

The loss most likely not only provides a mortal wound to OSU’s diminishing Big Ten regular-season championship hopes, but also puts a potential No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in jeopardy.

There is a lot to take from this game, and we’ll do our best to unpack it. Here are three takeaways from what we witnessed up in East Lansing Thursday night.

Ohio State beats Indiana, moves into virtual tie for first in Big Ten. Three takeaways.

Ohio State was able to win its sixth-straight game by taking care of business against Indiana. Here are three takeaways from the game.

Your Ohio State basketball team is officially in first place in the Big Ten, at least according to wins and losses. Technically speaking, Michigan remains in first place by winning percentage, with Illinois just behind, but all three teams are locked in at the top of the league because of a different number of games played.

The reason OSU has vaulted all the way to the top of the league is because it just knocked off Indiana for its sixth-straight win and ninth in its last ten. All of this, in a league that is the deepest and toughest to navigate in the country. This game against the Hoosiers, unlike some in the recent past, was rather free of drama with a 78-57 comfortable win.

Here are three things we observed as takeaways in this one.

Ohio State won another tough battle on the road in the Big Ten, this time over a physical and athletic Maryland squad that looked intent on making a statement for its prospects for the postseason. It was the Buckeyes’ fifth-straight win and eight of their last nine to inch ever so closer to first place in the league.

Terrapins head coach Mark Turgeon met with the local media after the game to discuss what he saw from his team, but had some very complimentary things to say about Ohio State as well. He complimented the Buckeyes’ depth, shooting, and ability so much that he focused more on some positives for what his team showed against such a high-quality team.

WATCH: Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann discusses Maryland win

Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media to discuss the win over Maryland on the road. Watch and listen to what he said.

The Ohio State basketball team just keeps showing everyone it is for real. The Buckeyes started a little slowly against Maryland on Monday night, but eventually found the mental and physical toughness they’ve been known for as of late, and turned back the Terrapins 73-65 in College Park.

With the win, the OSU pulls to within just 1/2 game of first place Michigan with a 10-4 conference record. Ohio State runs its overall record to 16-4 in what continues to be an improbable and exhilarating run through a tough Big Ten schedule.

Head coach Chris Holtmann met with the media after the win to discuss what he saw from his team and to convey some respect for the Maryland program. Watch below and catch all of Holtmann’s comments as he discusses Kyle Young’s game, his team’s rapid improvement, the character of his team, and more.

It was another fantastic win for a team that is quickly showing it could be a dangerous, dangerous team come March. The Buckeyes are next in action again at home against Indiana on Saturday.

Ohio State continues winning ways, downs Maryland on the road: 3 takeaways

Ohio State traveled to Maryland and won its fifth-straight Big Ten contest. Here are three takeaways from the victory in College Park.

Ohio State just keeps winning games in multiple ways. Monday night, Maryland came out intent on punching the Buckeyes in the mouth, and for a while, it worked.

The Terrapins played a physical brand of ball with a lot of movement towards the rim that resulted in an early lead. Just like so many games before this season though, OSU found a way to get points with what the opposition was giving it, clamped down on defense, and won another road contest in the rough and tumble Big Ten by the score of 73-65.

There is a lot to unpack with this one, especially with the way the Buckeyes responded and took care of business in the face of a team that seemed motivated and bent on turning some heads across the college basketball world tonight.

As we do with every game, here are three things we observed and can take away from Ohio State’s fifth-straight win, and a victory in eight of the last nine.

Ohio State with late surge to lead Maryland at the half

Ohio State started out slowly, but found a way to put a late run together to lead Maryland by five points at the half.

Ohio State ran into a motivated and hungry Maryland team early on in the first half Monday. The Terps came out more aggressive, looking to make a statement in a game that would be a feather in the cap towards putting together a push for postseason play.

Then the Buckeyes responded.

OSU used a 16-5 run to close out the first twenty minutes to head into the locker room up 35-30 in a very physical, grinding first half of play.

Ohio State did it a little differently than what one would expect against a smaller Terrapin squad. Rather than pound the ball into the lane with E.J. Liddell, Kyle Young, and company, the Buckeyes bombed away from deep, hitting on 8-of-16 three-pointers. Guard Duane Washington led the charge with thirteen points on three 3-pointers and 5-of-8 shooting overall. Justin Ahrens and Seth Towns also hit two triples in the first half.

Surprisingly, E.J. Liddell finished the half scoreless on 0-of-3 from the field as Maryland has put a lot of effort into neutralizing him in the post. That has, however, opened things up for perimeter players to knock down shots.

Maryland used balanced scoring with a lot of dribble drives to have success early on, but OSU amped up the defensive effort during the run to end the half. Aaron Wiggins led the Terps with eight points.

You can bet the Terrapins will come out with a lot of intensity and continue to play a very physical game out of the locker room. It’ll be up to Ohio State to continue with what it found during the latter part of the first half to close this one out.

The Buckeyes have become known as road warriors, with four top fifteen wins away from Value City Arena, and it’ll need to travel well again as it heads to College Park to tussle with the Terrapins.

With each passing game, there continues to be more and more on the line for the Buckeyes. We don’t know when first-place Michigan will be out of its COVID-19 protocol, but OSU is breathing down its neck, just one game out in the conference standings.

Ohio State basketball vs. Maryland: How to watch and listen to the game Monday

After a huge road win in Iowa, Ohio State travels to Maryland to take on the Terrapins in a Big Ten battle. Here’s how to find the game.

The Ohio State basketball team and head coach Chris Holtman have to be feeling good. The Buckeyes are riding a four-game win streak and have won seven of their last eight.

Holtman has OSU playing its best basketball of the season, and it was evident in a big-time road win over No. 8 Iowa. The Hawkeyes were a bad matchup for the Buckeyes with their size and length, but an excellent game plan and some sharp shooting from beyond the arc gave Ohio State the win.

Now the Buckeyes travel to the East Coast to face the Maryland Terrapins in another highly anticipated Big Ten battle. Maryland has been a middle of the pack team with a 4-8 record in the conference and 10-9 overall.

The Terps have knocked off a few top 25 teams, so Ohio State had better come ready for a fight.
