Big Ten play in college basketball begins on Wednesday for Ohio State and Maryland, as the teams meet in College Park.
Big Ten Conference play has arrived and on Wednesday night Ohio State and Maryland will kick-off the most important part of the season with a game in College Park. The Buckeyes started off strong this season and come into conference play with a record of 5-2. The team had been on a three-game win streak, but dropped a nail biter to No. 18 Pitt on Friday in a 91-90 overtime loss.
Against the Panthers, Bruce Thornton led the offense with a 24-point performance while Devin Royal and Micah Parrish joined him in double figures with 18 and 15 points, respectively. Parrish pulled down seven rebounds to lead on the boards, but competing against Pitt’s Ishmae Leggett under the basket proved difficult. While the team impressed offensively, shooting 51 percent from the field, 55 percent from long range and 65 percent from the line, the Buckeyes ultimately came up short.
