After their loss to Indiana on Thursday night, Maryland will return home to host #22 Ohio State on Sunday afternoon. The Buckeyes have won four of their last five games, and will be hoping to spoil the Terps' planned celebration of the 2002 National Championship team. Chris Holtmann's squad is coming off of a big road win over Illinois on Thursday night, and currently sit as the conference's fourth-place team. They easily handled Maryland in their first matchup earlier this month, led by a strong performance from junior forward E.J. Liddell.
