Ohio State takes on the No. 18 Maryland Terrapins after Devin Royal scored 29 points in Ohio State's 87-79 loss to the Illinois Fighting Illini.

In early December, it was a humiliating Big Ten opener for Ohio State as it trailed by as many as 40 points in an 83-59 loss at Maryland. Two months later, the Buckeyes (13-9, 5-6) will look to show how far they have come when they host the No.

No. 18 Maryland men’s basketball started the 2024-25 season 0-4 on the road. But after back-to-back victories away from Xfinity Center over No. 23 Illinois and Indiana, optimism surrounding another road trip is justified.
