1:00 p.m. ET: Maryland Terrapins (11-11) at Ohio St Buckeyes (13-5)

Spread: Ohio St. -9
Total: 140

The #16 Ohio State Buckeyes face the Maryland Terrapins after E.J. Liddell scored 20 points in Ohio State’s 81-78 loss to the Purdue Boilermakers. The Buckeyes are 9-0 in home games. Ohio State is 4-1 when it wins the turnover battle. The Terrapins have gone 3-8 against Big Ten opponents. Maryland ranks 7th in the Big Ten with 34.3 rebounds per game. The Buckeyes are back at home after a tough loss to Purdue and a PPD game against Iowa and should be prepared and fresh for this one. Maryland has had some tough games recently with losses to Michigan State and Indiana and now faces a tough challenge on the road against a team that rarely loses at home. Maryland plays tough defense but they are inconsistent on the offensive end. The Buckeyes offense will be too much for the Terrapins to handle and you can expect a double-digit win from the motivated and rested squad. Take the Buckeyes to cover the spread and the Under in this one.
