After coming off a dominating 91-73 home victory over Iowa, Maryland men’s basketball hits the road to face Ohio State in Columbus on Thursday night.
The Buckeyes are fresh off their home upset of then No. 1 Michigan State, 80-64, and are looking to continue to stake their claim as a contender in the Big Ten. The Terps are looking to continue their winning ways, hoping that players like Anthony Cowan Jr. and Kevin Huerter will put up big numbers on the road.
Maryland will be without guard Dion Wiley, who is recovering from a concussion suffered in the Iowa game. The Terps will be hurting without him, but they have the tools to win, despite having a depleted roster.
The numbers
Maryland: 14-4 (3-2 Big Ten)
Ohio State: 13-4 (4-0 Big Ten)
All-time series: 6-5 (Maryland has won the last four meetings)
Odds: Maryland is a five-point underdog
