#24 Ohio State Buckeyes vs Maryland Terrapins. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #24 Ohio State Buckeyes. When you look at Ohio State’s schedule this year, they performed well.

They suffered defeats at the hands of the Tar Heels in extra time, Duke on the road, Purdue, and San Diego State.

Maryland opened the year 8-0 before dropping their final two games after winning three consecutive and losing three straight.

Maryland struggled defensively against strong offensive teams, as seen by the fact that their last three defeats were all by more than ten points.

Since Key departed the game on Thursday after only four minutes, his status for this game is obviously crucial. The Buckeyes are still the superior team, especially when playing on the road, and they should be able to secure the victory since the Terrapins falter when it counts.

The #24 Ohio State Buckeyes will win to a predicted score of 73-70.
