Three days after earning the No. 18 spot in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the Terps wasted a 17-point lead in the first half and watched helplessly as Bruce Thornton and host Ohio State rallied for a 73-70 win Thursday night before an announced 10,155 at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

OSU has played well lately, with three wins in its last four games, despite its most recent outing being a loss to Illinois. Maryland has quietly gone under the radar and has won six of its previous seven. The Terps have also sneakingly become one of the better future bet values on the market in that time.

Maryland blew out Ohio State in December, but Micah Parrish said he used that for motivation in Thursday night's rematch.
